Creating an FNE Server
FlexNet Operations 2014
You can define a FlexNet Embedded (FNE) Server in FlexNet Operations. When defined, an FNE Server can submit its own capability requests to FlexNet Operations, and serve its own licenses to separate FNE clients (referred to as served clients on the Manage Devices page).
A server can comprise up to 2 physical devices, distinguished by Device ID: one primary server and one backup server. As with client devices, you can also define a Test Server.
For details on how to create an FNE server with extended host ID to distribute licenses to more than one enterprise customer, refer to About Extended Host IDs and Creating an FNE Server with Extended Host ID.
Note: Adding a second Device ID is permitted only when the system configuration settings allow adding redundant servers. (See Configuring Embedded Devices Settings for more information.)
Note: Enabling the Allow Adding Redundant Server system configuration setting can negatively impact FNE activation performance.
