Generating an Add-On License
FlexNet Operations 2014
An add-on license defines the additional capabilities of a device. Typically, add-ons are used to define the functionality of different devices.
You can generate add-on licenses online (programmatically) or manually on the administrative console or the self-service portal. (Devices that cannot connect directly to FlexNet Operations can activate additional capabilities via the manual process of offline activation.) When you generate add-on licenses manually you can do so with a request file (offline activation) or without.
The following steps describe how to manually generate an add-on license for both regular activations and offline activations. For a short-cut offline activation process, see Offline Activation: Generating a License.
