jhickey asked a question.
Environment:
80 windows 11 computers.
30-40 have flexnet service license agent installed
Products that use flexnet in our environment include ARCGIS, EFI, MathCad, and Autodesk.
Problem:
Flexnet service broadcasts arp requests ever 2 minutes from each computer. This results in an unusually high amount of broadcast traffic on our network. Because the computers are not in a cloud environment, they never receive an answer and they continue to send the requests.
Why is this a problem?:
ARP traffic on this network consists of about 60% of the broadcast traffic and 20% of these requests are from the flexnet service. This is unnecessary as we are not in a cloud environment.
Request:
I would request a way to disable this feature in the service.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
James
