FlexNet License Server Manager Download and Guide

[#1]

The new FlexNet License Server Manager enables license administrators to manage the FlexNet Embedded local license server and its license distribution using a browser-based interface. This new administration tool replaces the previous License Server Manager, which was deprecated in the 2022.11 release.

This tool is provided as a separate package, called:

FlexnetLicenseServerManager-<version>.zip

The package is a Docker container which holds the image:

revenera/flsm:<version>

Producers can download the FlexNet License Server Manager, along with the FlexNet Embedded Local License Server, from the Flexera/Revenera Product and License Center. Producers can then make the FlexNet License Server Manager available to their customers.

End users can download the latest version of FlexNet License Server Manager here:

Hello,

Can I connect this new FLSM to a FNE cloud license server? If yes (I hope), please provide pointers to any doc/article on how to do this.

Thanks.

Hello,

At this time, FlexNet License Server Manager can only be used to manage Local License Servers. To manage Cloud License Servers, you would need to use the APIs or flexnetlsadmin, as described in this topic:

Using the FlexNet License Server Administrator Command-line Tool

However, FlexNet License Server Manager support for Cloud License Servers is a feature that customers have requested and Revenera will be prioritizing it soon.
