FlexNet Operations 2014
A device is a hardware component that has its features licensed using FlexNet Embedded (FNE). Examples of devices include high-end medical equipment, routers, and microchip ID scanners. The Manage Devices page has a tab for each type of device:
| • | Clients—FNE devices that connect to FlexNet Operations to manage device ownership, state, features, and more. |
| • | Servers—FNE servers that communicate with FlexNet Operations to manage device ownership, state, and features for a collection of served clients. (When an FNE server is used, its client devices connect with the FNE server rather than connecting directly to FlexNet Operations.) |
| • | Served Clients—FNE devices that are managed via an FNE server. In FlexNet Operations, served client devices are essentially read-only entities. |
