Predefined Substitution Variables for License Strings

FlexNet Operations 2014

Package Products | License Models: Create a License Model

Variables can be used as values for supported license strings: VENDOR_STRING, NOTICE, ISSUER, and SERIAL_NUMBER. These variables are resolved when the license is generated.

To express a predefined substitution variable in a license string, on the Create a License Model page, specify the value of the string as the substitution variable enclosed in curly braces. For example, to use the Sold-to organization name use {SoldTo.name} or to use the Sold-to organization display name use {SoldTo.displayName}.

Important: Predefined substitution variables can be used with custom license technologies provided the license technology implements the GeneratorRequest interface.

Employing a Predefined Substitution Variable in a License String

The following instructions describe how to use a substitution variable for a license model attribute that corresponds to a supported license string.

To employ a predefined substitution variable in the license model

1. On the Create a License Model page, locate the license model attribute for which you want to use a predefined substitution variable.
2. For the license model attribute, choose Specify Value Now.
3. In the field provided, enter the substitution variable you want to use. For example, {SoldTo.displayName}. (See List of Predefined Substitution Variables, below, for a listing of available substitution variables.)
4. Click Save.

Note: The license model attributes for license strings can also take custom attributes as substitution variables. To do so, be sure the custom attribute itself is set to specified at fulfillment time. See Setting Up Custom License Model Attributes .
