Setting Up a Site License with 20 Sites

We are having trouble setting up a site license with 20 sites/addresses purchased with one PO number. Suggestions or a process to do this effectively in FlexNet Manager would be welcome. We are currently on FlexNet 2020 R1. 

 

Thank You

Hi,

If you are OK with creating one license per site, you can split a single purchase order (PO) and use it for multiple licenses.

After selecting your single PO from the "Procurement > Purchase Orders > Unprocessed Purchases" view, you can trigger the license creation and

  • set the "Quantity to process" value to 1 (one)
  • select 'a new license (create)' from choices listed after the "Apply to" label

The rest of the purchase order processing - setting maintenance, selecting the application(s), selecting the license type - is "business as usual". Unfortunately, you will have to repeat this process twenty times.

A license of type "Site" is always compliant. As documented in the FNMS Online Help, you can set up a scoping rule for limiting the consumption to devices in a certain location (site).

Using a business adapter for allocating devices to your site licenses might be a good idea.
