Overview

Product Information on FlexNet Manager

Updated 13th October 2025

What is FlexNet Manager?

FlexNet Manager is a software designed to help organizations manage software assets by providing visibility into software usage, licensing, and compliance. The software enables users to optimize software investments through features such as automated discovery, inventory tracking, and license reconciliation across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. It addresses business challenges related to software compliance risks, uncontrolled software spending, and the complexities of managing licenses from multiple vendors. FlexNet Manager consolidates data from various enterprise systems to present a unified view of software deployment and usage, allowing organizations to make informed decisions on license purchases, renewals, and decommissioning.

FlexNet Manager Pricing

FlexNet Manager software uses a subscription-based pricing model, typically structured on a per-user or per-device basis, with costs varying depending on deployment size and selected modules. Pricing can also be influenced by the set of asset management capabilities chosen, with enterprise-level features and support available for larger implementations.

Performance of FlexNet Manager Across Market Features

FlexNet Manager Likes & Dislikes

Like

The product FNMS is a very good product with ease of customization. Some bugs but the engine is very robust.

Like

The user Dashboard is user friendly. The application recognition library is generally accurate and is up to date. Data can be collected from all servers, endpoints, and cloud.

Like

Ease of use

Dislike

The time to have good answers from the support. Often need to ask help to the customer service. Information about known bugs or issues are not exchanged easily

Dislike

The product has trouble distributing Microsoft datacenter product licenses appropriately (e.g. datacenter vs. standard). Calculations are not always correct for virtualized environments (e.g. Redhat requires hot standby to be licensed). Reporting is not granular and it is not intuitive (e.g. can't segment so a given audience can only see certain products).

Dislike

The on-premise data life pack is incomplete and stale.

    Flexera as a tool is good at collecting data but at times, we have seen multiple connectors not working properly and import failures leading to stale data.
