In the FlexNet Manager Suite 2018 R1 release, we introduced the License management for cloud service providers feature. This introduced a license setting that recorded if a license could be used for devices that are hosted by one or more cloud service providers. Please see the Cloud service providers section in the License Consumption Rules topic of the online help for more information for the feature.
When originally released, the default configuration was to set the Cloud service providers setting to On-premises. With experience we have determined that it is better to make the default setting as On-premises and Any cloud service provider. Using these default settings, if you migrate any of your software to a cloud service provider, your existing licenses may still be used – unless you choose to update these settings.
FlexNet Manager Suite cloud has already been updated so that any new licenses are configured this way by default – existing licenses were not changed. To assist you for any future migration, we will be applying this update to existing licenses, under the following conditions:
If these conditions are met, only these licenses types will be updated with the additional selection of Any cloud service provider. No other change will be made.
These settings will only take effect when you import cloud service provider data, so you will not experience any change to your license consumption.
When the change is applied, you can see it in the licence History tab. It will appear as:
<date> | FNMP\svc-jenkins | Any cloud service provider was changed from 0 to 1 |
If you prefer that we do not perform this change, please contact Flexera Support prior to October 10, 2019. After this date, these changes will be progressively applied over the following two weeks.
