FlexxAgent for Windows enables the monitoring, management, and automation of Windows devices from the Flexxible platform. It is distributed as a single executable that integrates all the components needed for its operation, so it does not require any prior installation of dependencies or additional software. This design simplifies deployment, update, and maintenance processes, especially in environments with a large number of managed devices.

​
Compatibility

FlexxAgent is compatible with Windows versions that are within Microsoft’s official support lifecycle:
  • Microsoft Windows 10 or later.
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2016 or later.
On devices running Windows 10 version 21H2, you must have update KB5039211 installed before installing the agent, as this version of the operating system contains a known issue that may affect the installation. This requirement does not apply to Windows 10 version 22H2 or later versions.

​
Architecture requirements

FlexxAgent is only compatible with 64-bit operating systems. It cannot be installed on 32-bit systems.

​
Architecture

FlexxAgent is distributed as a single executable. During installation, the components necessary for its execution are configured automatically at both the system and user session levels. This architecture simplifies agent administration, streamlines diagnostic tasks, and reduces the operational complexity associated with its maintenance. univ-process

Proxy with authentication

Example:
Available only in FXXOne environments.
The magic link lets users with the Organization Administrator role in partner-type organizations distribute the FlexxAgent installer without end users needing to sign in or authenticate on the platform. The link is generated from the platform and can be shared with users to make it easier to download the agent directly onto their devices.
  1. Go to Home from the platform menu.
  2. Click Generate a magic link.
