March 2026

Flexera One introduced the following new features and enhancements this month.

Administration​

Administration released the following features and enhancements in March 2026.

Azure MCA CSP Cost Management API ingestion with scoped access now available to all customers​

note

This feature is available with Administration.

Flexera One is migrating to new Azure Cost Management APIs to provide Cloud Solution Providers (CSPs) with the latest billing details for cost analysis. Using these APIs, Azure CSP Modern Commerce Agreement (MCA) cost and usage details are imported into Flexera One. These APIs also enable visibility of Reservations and Savings Plans. Your account manager will work with you to maintain your Azure cost reporting in Flexera One and ensure a seamless transition.

With this feature, scoped exports for Azure MCA Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) bill connects are now generally available to all customers.

When you create a bill connect, you now have two ingestion options:

  • Cost Management API

  • Exports

The following features are supported for the Tier-1 CSP (Direct Reseller):

  • Azure Cost Management API integration with costs reflected in billing currency

  • Reservations and savings plans cost and usage

  • Commitment inventory (reservations and savings plans) with expiration and utilization details

  • Account-level configuration is available for child organizations to display either list price, cost price, or both. By default, both the List Price and Cost columns in the Tabular View and dashboards display list price values. To enable the display of list price and cost price values in their respective columns for specific child organizations, contact Flexera Support.

  • Scoping is supported for both the Azure Cost Management API and Exports methods. CSPs can now create bill connects at the following scopes:

    • Billing account

    • Billing profile

    • Customer tenant

note

The following features related to Tier-1 CSP are not yet available to all customers. If you would like these features enabled, contact Flexera Support. For more information, see Contacting Flexera Support.

  • The Savings and Savings Percentage metrics

  • The Rate Reduction Savings dashboard

Limitation: Reservation usage is always reported as zero due to a Microsoft platform limitation.

Subscription Scope

Consider the following for Subscription scope:

  • The subscription scope is available only for an Azure Tier‑2 CSP (Indirect Reseller). The Bill Connect UI is not available for the subscription scope.
  • Commitment inventory (reservations and savings plans) with expiration and utilization details is not available for this scope.
  • Rate reduction savings is not available for this scope for Indirect Resellers because the list price (paygCostInBillingCurrency) is zero for this scope.

For more information, see Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) Partner - Azure MCA (New) in the Flexera One Help.

Shared Settings - Audit log enhancement​

The Audit log table in Shared settings in Flexera One has been updated to include a new Email address column. This addition provides a clear and specific identifier for audit logged actions within Flexera One SaaS Management, making it easier to track and associate activities with the corresponding user email addresses.

By incorporating this Email address column, the audit log becomes more informative and user-friendly, enhancing the ability to monitor and review actions taken in Flexera One SaaS Management with greater accuracy and accountability.

For more information, see Audit log: Reference in the Flexera One Help.

New Overwrite option for Amazon Web Services Cost and Usage Report​

note

This feature is available with Administration and with the upgraded Cloud Cost Optimization version.

You can now choose whether an AWS Legacy Cost and Usage Report (CUR) creates a new report version each time it is generated or overwrites the existing report in your S3 bucket.

Previously, the AWS Legacy CUR was always configured to create a new report version, and there was no option to overwrite the existing report version. This enhancement provides more flexibility in how you manage your AWS Cost and Usage Report.

When you enable the Overwrite existing report option, each time the report is generated, the existing report is replaced with a new cumulative report for the current billing period. The report not only contains the current date’s data but also provides a comprehensive view, including historical and forecasted data. This can help you analyze trends and make informed decisions about your AWS usage and costs.

For more information, see Configuring the AWS Legacy Cost and Usage Report.

Flexera One SaaS Management​

Flexera One SaaS Management released the following enhancements in March 2026.

Enhanced usage visibility for Microsoft 365 connectors​

Microsoft 365 connector now surfaces mailbox and OneDrive usage per user, available in the family view for the Users and Insights tabs. This visibility helps identify over-consumed and under‑consumed subscriptions to support upgrade or downgrade decisions.

  • Mailbox usage (MB): Displays the user's current mailbox storage consumption.

  • OneDrive usage (MB): Displays the user's current OneDrive for Business storage consumption.

Custom connectors now support cursor-based pagination​

Cursor-based pagination is now supported for Custom connectors (also known as the Universal connectors), allowing you to integrate Flexera One SaaS Management with third-party SaaS APIs such as Slack, GitHub GraphQL, and Stripe that rely on this pagination method. This enhancement improves data reliability by ensuring consistent, complete data retrieval, even for large or frequently changing datasets. This helps reduce the risk of missing or duplicate records when importing data through custom connectors.

New indicator card for excluded Business Stakeholders​

A new indicator card, Excluded business stakeholders, is now available in the ServiceNow Use verification view for Business Stakeholder subscriptions. This card identifies users who have both ITSM Pro and Business Stakeholder entitlements.

By excluding users who hold higher‑tier licenses (such as ITSM Pro) that already include Business Stakeholder capabilities, the system avoids adding these individuals to Business Stakeholder totals a second time. The indicator card reflects this refined view, giving you clearer insight into how entitlements are being evaluated. This added transparency helps you validate ServiceNow usage with greater confidence, avoid overreporting, and make more informed optimization and compliance decisions.

New subscriptions per user report​

The Reports section in Flexera One SaaS Management has been enhanced with the addition of the Subscriptions per user report. This report provides a centralized view of users and their assigned SaaS subscriptions, removing the need to export and merge data from individual pages.

You can customize the report by adding conditions, creating grouped conditions, and organizing table data to focus on what matters most. Customized reports can be exported as CSV files, making it easier to analyze usage, identify overlaps or unused assignments, and support decisions on license compliance, optimization, and renewals.

Flexera One Platform​

The Flexera One Platform released the following enhancement in March 2026.

Refresh tokens now have a 365-day maximum lifetime​

note

This enhancement is available with Flexera One Platform.

Refresh tokens generated on or after March 18, 2026, now have a fixed maximum lifetime of 365 days. After this period, they are no longer automatically extended and will expire. Refresh tokens generated before this date are not impacted by this change.

This security enhancement reduces the risk of long‑lived tokens being misused if they are compromised and helps ensure that access remains secure over time.

For more information, see Generating a Refresh Token in the Flexera One Help.

IT Visibility​

IT Visibility released the following enhancements in March 2026.

Number of contextual fields in a single CSV file upload increased to 64​

note

This enhancement is available with IT Visibility With Technology Intelligence Platform.

You can now add up to 64 contextual fields in a single CSV file upload when enriching inventory data. This total includes the reference fields used for contextualization of devices, software, business services, or cloud inventory, as well as any additional contextual fields.

This enhancement enables you to upload richer contextual data for your inventory in a single step, reducing the need for multiple repeat uploads. The additional fields can then be used to create more detailed and insightful reports in Power BI.

Previously, you could add only up to 20 contextual fields in a single CSV file upload.

For more information, see the CSV File Data section in Contextual Data Mashup Overview in the Flexera One Help.

Asynchronous Rendering for Large Datasets in Data Explorer​

note

This enhancement is available with IT Visibility With Technology Intelligence Platform.

Data Explorer now supports asynchronous rendering for large datasets beyond the current 1 million records / 256MB report size limit. When a report exceeds this threshold, the system will automatically switch to a server-side pagination so users can continue to search, filter and sort across the entire dataset.

This allows users to keep reporting and analytics workflows within Flexera One, removing the need to export large reports to external tools to perform basic exploration and filtering. Users will be informed when data is truncated versus when the full dataset is available, improving transparency for critical decisions.

Updates to the Devices page​

note

This feature is available with IT Visibility With Technology Intelligence Platform.

The Devices page (Inventory > IT Visibility Devices > Devices) in IT Visibility has been updated to provide additional insights into discovered devices. The following updates have been made:

  • New tabs on the Device Detail page to enhance device management and analysis:

    • Software Evidence - File—Displays file evidence details for the selected device, enabling you to view and analyze file information associated with the device.
    • Software Evidence - OS—Displays operating system evidence details for the selected device, providing insights into the operating systems installed on the device.
    • Hardware Evidence—Displays the discovered hardware evidence for the selected device, including manufacturer, model, recognition status, and associated Technopedia mapping details.

  • Renamed existing tab:

    • The Software Evidence (Installer Only) tab has been renamed to Software Evidence - Installer for clarity.

  • Renamed existing field:

    • The Software Evidence Count (Installer Only) field on the Device Detail page has been renamed to Software Evidence Count to reflect the aggregated total of installer, OS, and active Technopedia-mapped file evidence for the device. Previously, this field only counted installer evidence.

For more information about the Devices page, see Identifying Devices Using Evidence.

Discovered Hardware Evidence per device in IT Visibility​

note

This feature is available with IT Visibility With Technology Intelligence Platform.

You can now see the discovered hardware evidence for each device on the Devices page (Inventory > IT Visibility Devices > Devices) by opening the device details and using the new Hardware Evidence tab. This tab shows hardware evidence for each device (such as Evidence Manufacturer Name and Evidence Model Number) alongside the corresponding Technopedia fields and recognition status.

Using this feature, you can:

  • See the hardware evidence linked to each device alongside its normalized Technopedia details.
  • Understand how each piece of hardware evidence has been recognized in Technopedia.
  • View the total count of hardware evidence records for each device.
  • Export detailed hardware evidence for deeper analysis and reporting.

Overall, this delivers clearer alignment and transparency between discovered hardware evidence and Technopedia, helping you maintain a more accurate hardware inventory.

For more information, see the Hardware Evidence section of Identifying Devices Using Evidence.

Improved visibility into OS Evidence in IT Visibility​

note

The Software Evidence page (Applications & Evidence > IT Visibility Software > Software Evidence) in IT Visibility has been updated to provide additional insights into your software inventory.

With this enhancement, you can work with richer OS evidence details on the OS Evidence tab, including the new Caption and CSD Version fields, giving you more insights into the OS evidence that contributes to your software inventory.

You can use the global search, which now searches OS evidence by Caption and CSD Version, helping you analyze your OS evidence in more detail.

For more information, see the OS Evidence section of Identifying Applications Using Evidence.

Contextual data for business service information and irrelevant reason now available in GraphQL​

note

This enhancement is available with IT Visibility With Technology Intelligence Platform.

Flexera's GraphQL API dataset now includes two enhancements:

  • You can now access Business Service context data in GraphQL Query Generator.
  • You can now access Irrelevant Reason information in GraphQL Query Generator.

Contextual data for Business Service information​

Business Service context data uploaded through the Contextual Data Store can now be accessed using GraphQL APIs. This enhancement enables you to export Business Service IDs along with their associated contextual properties through GraphQL APIs and use this data in Data Explorer and GraphQL to build reports that better align IT inventory with business services.

Irrelevant Reason field​

The GraphQL schema now includes the irrelevantReason field within Software Evidence. This field provides additional visibility into why a piece of evidence has been marked as irrelevant, improving transparency and auditability for managers and auditors without requiring cross-referencing across other systems.

For more information, see the API documentation, Datasets - GraphQL, on developer.flexera.com.

Process inventory now available in IT Visibility​

note

This enhancement is available with IT Visibility With Technology Intelligence Platform.

IT Visibility now ingests and normalizes process inventory data from the FlexNet Inventory Agent, providing visibility into running processes across your environment. This data includes software application associations, enabling you to see which software applications are linked to each running process. The data is accessible through GraphQL APIs and can be visualized in custom dashboards, allowing you to create tailored views.

With process inventory available, you gain deeper visibility into what is actively executing in your environment and a richer, more accurate view of your IT estate. This helps you understand what is running where, make informed decisions about software rationalization, and better support governance and audit use cases.

IT Asset Management​

IT Asset Management released the following new features and enhancement in March 2026.

Contract AI ingestion​

note

This feature is available with IT Asset Management.

IT Asset Management now offers an automated method to ingest and process original contract documents.

Previously, creating contracts in IT Asset Management was a manual, time-consuming, and error-prone process. Users had to interpret legal documents and manually enter key contract attributes, introducing variability and slowing operations.

This release introduces AI/ML-powered contract ingestion in IT Asset Management, enabling users to quickly upload contracts.

By leveraging natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML), contracts are parsed and converted into structured data fields, significantly reducing manual effort, improving accuracy, and streamlining contract ingestion across user roles.

Contracts processed by AI ingestion can be viewed on the All Contracts page. AI-generated contracts will include an AI tag.

note

Supported formats: PDF, PNG, JPG, JPEG, TIF, TIFF, XLSX, CSV. Maximum file size: 16 MB

note

To use this functionality, you must enable AI capabilities in the IT Asset Management Settings under Security > AI Features. After enabling AI capabilities, select Allow AI‑assisted contract upload.

For more information, see Create a Contract using AI Ingestion.

Bulk Deletion for Purchases and Assets​

note

This feature is available with IT Asset Management.

Data management in IT Asset Management has been enhanced with the introduction of bulk deletion functionality for purchases and assets.

Previously, maintaining clean data was challenging due to the lack of bulk deletion capabilities.

From this release, users can now delete purchases and assets in batches of up to 1,000 records directly from the All Purchases and All Assets pages in the UI. Alternatively, bulk deletion can be performed using the Business Adapter.

Deletion occurs during reconciliation. At the start of reconciliation, the system processes bulk deletions first. If deletion cannot be completed within the reconciliation window, any remaining records will be skipped and processed during the next reconciliation cycle. This ensures reconciliation performance is not negatively impacted.

Key points:

  • Bulk deletion can be performed in the UI or the Business Adapter.

  • Records marked for deletion remain visible in the UI with the label “Marked for Deletion” until reconciliation completes.

  • Deletions are executed automatically during reconciliation.

  • Bulk deletions do not degrade system performance.

For technical details on how bulk deletion works for purchases and assets, see Bulk Deletion.

All Containers page revised and new All Container Images page​

note

This feature is available with IT Asset Management.

Previously, customers with large container inventories experienced performance issues when using the All Containers management view in IT Asset Management. These issues typically manifested as long grid load times or timeout errors.

At scale, the All Containers page was slow because it attempted to combine three distinct data shapes into a single result set:

  • Container instances

  • Pods that have no containers

  • Images that have no containers

From this release onward, the All Containers page no longer attempts to represent all three data shapes in a single dataset. Instead, it is now container‑centric and focuses solely on container instances. This change aligns the page more closely with its core purpose and allows the underlying query to be simpler, lower risk, and significantly more performant.

As part of this update:

Pods without containers are no longer shown on the All Containers page, which aligns with the domain expectation that pods exist to run containers.

Images without containers are still supported, but are now displayed on a new dedicated page called All Container Images, rather than overloading the All Containers grid.

The new All Container Images page shows:

  • All container images, including those that currently have no running containers.

  • A count of containers associated with each image. Selecting a value in the Number of containers column navigates to the All Containers page, automatically filtered to show containers for the selected container image.

For more information, see All Containers and All Container Images.

New VM density columns by operating system added to cluster reporting in Report Builder​

note

This enhancement is available with IT Asset Management.

In this release, the Report Builder has been enhanced to report on virtual machine (VM) density by operating system variant at the cluster level. VM density is calculated as the ratio of virtual machines to the number of hosts in a cluster. For example, if a cluster contains six Windows Server VMs running on four hosts, the resulting VM density is 1.5.

To support licensing scenarios where Low Density or High Density determines eligibility for unlimited VMs, three new columns have been added to the Cluster reporting object. These columns represent the average number of VMs per host for each supported operating system variant:

  • Windows virtual machines (density)

  • RHEL virtual machines (density)

  • SUSE virtual machines (density)

Each VM density value is calculated using the following formulas:

  • RHEL VM Density = Number of RHEL VMs ÷ Number of Hosts

  • SUSE VM Density = Number of SUSE VMs ÷ Number of Hosts

  • Windows VM Density = Number of Windows VMs ÷ Number of Hosts

The number of VMs for Windows, RHEL, and SUSE, as well as the number of hosts in the cluster, is already available in Report Builder and used as the basis for these calculations.

If the VM count for a given operating system is NULL (that is, there are no VMs of that type in the cluster), the corresponding VM density value is set to 0.

These additional columns provide clearer insight into the distribution of virtual machines by operating system relative to the number of hosts in a cluster, helping customers better understand VM density and its impact on licensing.

For more information on building custom reports, see Creating a Custom Report.

Changes to supported operating systems and compatibility with other products​

note

This enhancement is available with IT Asset Management.

The following operating system versions have been added to the list of supported operating systems on FlexNet Inventory Agent:

  • Debian Linux 13.3
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9.7
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 16.0

The following product version has been added to the compatibility list of IT Asset Management with other products:

  • Cyberark Credential Provider 14.2

For the full lists, see Prerequisite Software and Compatibility with Other Products in System Requirements and Compatibility.

Inventory Beacon 25.3.0 upgraded to 64-bit application requiring customer action​

note

This feature is available with IT Asset Management.

warning

Beginning with version 25.3.0, the beacon runs as a 64-bit application and requires 64-bit drivers. If you use file-based adapters, direct Oracle connections, IBM License Metric Tool (ILMT) via DB2, or CyberArk Credential Provider, you must install the corresponding 64-bit components to avoid data flow interruption.

The March 2026 update converts FlexNet Beacon from a 32-bit to a 64-bit application, delivering better performance, more efficient memory use, improved compatibility with current operating systems, and greater scalability.

Required actions by feature:

  • File-based adapters (CSV/XLS/XLSX): Uninstall the 32-bit Microsoft Access Database Engine (ACE) and install the 64-bit version from Microsoft Download Center.

  • Direct Oracle connections: Install a 64-bit Oracle Provider for OLE DB driver that supports your Oracle database versions. You may need to uninstall the existing 32-bit driver first.

  • IBM License Metric Tool (ILMT) with DB2: Install a 64-bit DB2 client or driver (recommended: IBM Data Server Driver Package). Ensure the driver supports your DB2 version and validate connectivity before running the ILMT adapter.

  • CyberArk Credential Provider: Install the x64 CyberArk Credential Provider. For configuration details, see Configuring CyberArk for Use with Password Manager in System Reference.

important

If beacons are configured to auto-upgrade, consider disabling auto-upgrade temporarily to coordinate the beacon upgrade and driver updates simultaneously. Until 64-bit components are installed, associated beacon processes will fail. Automatic downgrade to a previous 32-bit version is not supported.

For detailed guidance, see Inventory Beacon Release 25.3.0 - Conversion of FlexNet Beacon to a 64-bit application - Action needed on Flexera Community.

Cloud Commitment Management​

Cloud Commitment Management released the following enhancements in March 2026.

Unified AWS and Azure Savings Estimates on the Cloud Commitment Management Dashboard​

Cloud Commitment Management customers can now view automated savings estimates for Azure accounts, alongside existing AWS savings estimates, in a single, unified dashboard. This single pane of glass experience lets you compare and evaluate savings opportunities across both AWS and Azure at the same time, simplifying analysis and helping you quickly identify where to focus your cloud commitment strategies.

Cloud Cost Optimization​

Estimated break-even in months for AWS and Azure rate reduction recommendations​

note

This enhancement is available with Cloud Cost Optimization.

For AWS and Azure rate reduction recommendations, a new column, Estimated Break Even in Months, is available in the Rate Reduction Savings table. This value is provided directly by AWS and Azure and represents the number of months it is expected to take for the potential savings from the recommendation to cover the cost of the recommended commitment purchase.

This enhancement helps you understand the cost and benefits of purchasing a commitment based on how long it is expected to take to break even. By understanding the estimated break-even point, you can make informed decisions about which recommendations to implement first. This insight is particularly valuable for organizations that want to optimize their cloud spending.

note

The Estimated Break Even in Months column is currently available only for AWS and Azure recommendations. For Google Cloud recommendations, this column shows a dash (-) because this data is not provided by that cloud provider.

For more information, see Rate Reduction section in Viewing Potential Savings in the Flexera One Help.

Guided onboarding for new Cloud Cost Optimization customers​

note

This feature is available with Cloud Cost Optimization.

Flexera One now includes a Getting Started experience on the landing page for Cloud Cost Optimization (CCO) customers logging in for the first time. New customers see guided setup cards that walk them through the essential first steps needed to begin configuring and using Cloud Cost Optimization.

Partner Service Layer​

Partner Service Layer released the following features in March 2026.

Grouping child organizations now available for Managed Service Providers​

note

This feature is available with Partner Service Layer.

Managed Service Providers (MSPs) can now assign predefined group tags to child organizations. This feature enables MSPs to organize child organizations into groups and apply policies across multiple child organizations simultaneously. The Group column has been added to the table on the Customers Overview page, displaying the tag assigned to each child organization.

Using this feature, MSPs can manage child organizations, improving operational efficiency and reducing manual effort.

Previously, MSPs had no way to group child organizations and had to manually select each organization when applying a policy. This process was time-consuming and inefficient.

For more information, see the following topics in the Flexera One Help:

MSPs can now apply automation policies across multiple organizations using Policy Manager​

note

This feature is available with Partner Service Layer.

Managed Service Providers (MSPs) can now apply and track automation policies across multiple child organizations more efficiently by grouping them using tags instead of selecting child organizations individually. Using Policy Manager, MSPs can apply a policy to all child organizations that match a selected tag. This capability enables centralized policy management across both new and existing child organizations, streamlines onboarding, and helps ensure consistent policy settings across child organizations.

This feature improves operational efficiency and scalability for MSPs managing automation policies across multiple child organizations.

Previously, MSPs could apply policies in bulk only through the API or by manually selecting each child organization when applying a policy, which was a laborious and time-consuming process.

For more information, see the following topics in the Flexera One Help.

Billing Explorer now available for Managed Service Providers​

note

This feature is available with Partner Service Layer.

Flexera One introduces the new Billing Explorer feature, available to Managed Service Providers (MSPs) with the Billing and Managed Service Provider capabilities.
