Generating a Pre-Built License

FlexNet Operations 2014

A pre-built license defines the basic capabilities of a hardware device. Other licenses, called add-on licenses, can later define additional capabilities for the device.

Note: You must create a device before generating pre-built licenses for it.

To generate a pre-built license for a device

1. On the Manage Devices page, click the tab for the type of device for which you want to generate a license. Choose either Clients or Servers.
2. From the device list, click the Device ID of the device for which you want to generate a pre-built license. This link opens the Create a Device page where you can edit the attributes of the device.
3. On the Create a Device page, click Add/Edit Pre-Built License. This button opens the Generate Pre-Built Licenses page.
4. Click By Product, and then, from the Select Product page, select a product for which to generate the license. Click OK.
5. Under License Model Attributes, select a license model from the drop-down list. Any entitlement-time custom attributes for the license model are displayed. Enter values for these as necessary.
6. Under Expiration Terms, in Start Date, enter a start date for the license, or using the calendar, select one.
7. Under Expiration, select an expiration type.
Permanent: The license never expires.
Specify Expiration Date: The license will expire on the indicated date.
Specify Duration: The license will be valid for this period of time after activation.
8. Click Generate. The pre-built license is generated.

You can view generated licenses by selecting the license to be viewed and clicking View.

You can also download a pre-built license as a binary file to your local system by selecting the license and clicking Download.
