Which of the following is an advantage of FLEXX licensing?

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract of Forescout Platform Administration and Deployment:

According to the Forescout Licensing and Sizing Guide and official licensing documentation, the key advantage of FLEXX licensing is that licensing is centralized and managed by an Enterprise Manager, providing centralized license administration across the entire Forescout platform deployment.​

FLEXX Licensing Key Advantages:

FLEXX licensing represents a significant departure from the legacy per-appliance licensing model. The primary advantages of FLEXX licensing include:​

Centralized License Pool - Licenses are independent of hardware appliances and form a centralized, shared pool that can be deployed across multiple appliances and network segments

Enterprise Manager Management - License entitlements and allocations are centrally administered and managed by the Enterprise Manager​

Portable Licenses - Licenses can be ubiquitously deployed and shared across different device types, appliance locations, and deployment scenarios (campus, data center, cloud, OT)

Flexible Capacity Sharing - Licensed capacity can be shared across campus, data center, cloud, and OT environments without appliance-specific restrictions

Scalability - Unlimited virtual appliance instances can be spun up as needed without purchasing additional appliance hardware licenses

Unified Customer Portal - Centralized access to license management, software downloads, documentation, and support​

FLEXX Licensing Deployment Model:

With FLEXX licensing, organizations can:

Order software licenses separately and independent from appliances

Centrally manage and allocate licenses from a unified portal

Redistribute license capacity across appliances without manual reallocation

Support virtual and physical appliances equally​

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

A - Incorrect; FLEXX licenses are NOT controlled by individual appliances but are managed centrally at the Enterprise Manager level

C - Base licenses cannot simply be added together; FLEXX licensing is purchased as a unified license pool

D - FLEXX is offered with V8 appliances (5100 and 4100 series), not V7; CT series appliances support per-appliance licensing

E - FLEXX is available for 5100/4100 series and CT series (with Flexx upgrade option) in V8.0 or higher, not in V7
