Having difficulty finding a way to see remaining available licenses.
I can find out (in a long way) by going to:
Devices > Select the device
View > View Served Devices
Click on each Served Device > find out "Count"
accumulate the "Counts" and then check against "Qty mapped" for the Server .
I am assuming there is an easier way to do this. But I am new to Flexera and need help
Also how do you release a license that is checked out but forgotten to be released (by a Customer Portal admin)

Hi @ertugrul ,
You seem close, yet might be missing steps 1 and 2 (detailed below).
Steps:
1. Add a User with Portal Admin User Role permissions to the entitled account with a CLS.
2. Set a Password for CLS by Portal Admin User Role in Customer Portal
3) /authorize REST API
4) /features REST API
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
More detailed steps:
1. For the entitled account, please add a User with the "Portal Admin User Role" enabled.
2. Now with this User account above, log into the Customer Portal, locate your CLS device and from the "Action" menu, pull down and "Set Password".
From here, you can use the REST APIs.
3. Authorize - https://flexXXXX.compliance.flexnetoperations.com/api/1.0/instances/XXXXXXXXXXXX/authorize using a body:
{
"user":"admin",
"password":"PasswordFromStep2Above"
}
where XXXXXXXXXXXX is your unique CLS ID
4. Features - https://flexxxxx.compliance.flexnetoperations.com/api/1.0/instances/XXXXXXXXXXXX/features

Hi @ertugrul ,
Apologies for the delayed response due to travel and holiday and travel and did I say travel? 😉
cURL to delete clients looks feasible based upon the documentation. There is one example (not your use case though) in attachments.
The command to delete (spitballing)
curl -X DELETE --url licenseServer_baseURL/clients/{id}

Hello @ertugrul ,
The password you set for the Cloud License Server in the Customer Portal is for the user "admin". Please use "admin" instead of userx@gmail.com to authorize.
Thanks,

Hi @ertugrul ,
Did some more digging into using curl to authorize. This format worked:
"expires" : "2019-09-28T12:24:43.258Z",
"token" : "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzUxMiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJhZG1pbiIsImlzcyI6IkNVTDY4TUhaWEFVRCIsImlhdCI6MTU2OTU4NzA4MywiZXhwIjoxNTY5NjczNDgzLCJyb2xlcyI6IlJPTEVfQURNSU4sUk9MRV9EUk9QQ0xJRU5ULFJPTEVfUkVBRCxST0xFX1JFU0VSVkFUSU9OUyIsInhzcmZUb2tlbiI6ImEyNGY3Zjg0LWU3YmEtNDBmZC05ZThiLTQ0YWNlMTY0ZTcxOCJ9.AB1SaFitfnPUwbsKDG8uNXBUGSUtkzcPsyTwNrODDe1BvX3IaKn7gPWIobHCXp_ZBtiqRPek5YuPGA04ERJrNx"

Hi @ertugrul ,
Glad to hear you were able to successfully view the features. You definitely need the referenced License Server Producer Guide to get access to the REST API documentation as it has the information you are requesting.
If you look at your response from /features you will see that each licensed feature has an associated id. You can then use that id to see all devices/clients which currently have a license for that feature. To do this send the request to /features/{featureid}/clients. Here's an example request & response for devices which have a license for a feature with id 179837:
curl -k -X GET -H "Content-type:application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzUxMiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJhZG1pbiIsImlzcyI6IkNVTDY4TUhaWEFVRCIsImlhdCI6MTU2OTU4NzA4MywiZXhwIjoxNTY5NjczNDgzLCJyb2xlcyI6IlJPTEVfQURNSU4sUk9MRV9EUk9QQ0xJRU5ULFJPTEVfUkVBRCxST0xFX1JFU0VSVkFUSU9OUyIsInhzcmZUb2tlbiI6ImEyNGY3Zjg0LWU3YmEtNDBmZC05ZThiLTQ0YWNlMTY0ZTcxOCJ9.AB1SaFitfnPUwbsKDG8uNXBUGSUtkzcPsyTwNrODDe1BvX3IaKn7gPWIobHCXp_ZBtiqRPek5YuPGA04ERJrNx" https://flexNNNN.compliance.flexnetoperations.com/api/1.0/instances/yourCLSID/features/179837/clients
[ {
"id" : 967863608,
"usageKind" : "CONCURRENT_USAGE",
"client" : {
"id" : 441852507,
"hostid" : {
"hostidValue" : "MyDevice1",
"hostidType" : "STRING"
},
"updateTime" : "2019-09-27T17:31:21.918Z",
"servedStatus" : "NORMAL",
"hostType" : "FLX_CLIENT",
"machineType" : "PHYSICAL",
"trusted" : false,
"correlationId" : "d6e10cea-bacc-4f8d-8ab9-533e6c34d595",
"collectedHostIds" : "STRING MyDevice1",
"requestOperation" : "REQUEST",
"requestHostid" : {
"hostidValue" : "MyDevice1",
"hostidType" : "STRING"
},
"serverHostid" : {
"hostidValue" : "CUL68MHZXAUD",
"hostidType" : "STRING"
},
"expiry" : "2019-10-04T17:31:21.918Z"
},
"useCount" : 1,
"reservedCount" : 0
} ]
The response contains id(s) for all clients with this license feature. To return a license for a given client, you will want to send a DELETE to the /clients/{deviceid} endpoint. Here's an example:
curl -k -X DELETE -H "Content-type:application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzUxMiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJhZG1pbiIsImlzcyI6IkNVTDY4TUhaWEFVRCIsImlhdCI6MTU2OTU4NzA4MywiZXhwIjoxNTY5NjczNDgzLCJyb2xlcyI6IlJPTEVfQURNSU4sUk9MRV9EUk9QQ0xJRU5ULFJPTEVfUkVBRCxST0xFX1JFU0VSVkFUSU9OUyIsInhzcmZUb2tlbiI6ImEyNGY3Zjg0LWU3YmEtNDBmZC05ZThiLTQ0YWNlMTY0ZTcxOCJ9.AB1SaFitfnPUwbsKDG8uNXBUGSUtkzcPsyTwNrODDe1BvX3IaKn7gPWIobHCXp_ZBtiqRPek5YuPGA04ERJrNx" https://flexNNNN.compliance.flexnetoperations.com/api/1.0/instances/yourCLSID/clients/441852507
The license for this client is now returned to the server license pool.
Note you have the ability to set a policy on the server to determine how frequently devices can be deleted to prevent "dishonest" users from trying to overuse licenses above their entitled quantity.

Hi @ertugrul,
In the License Server Producer Guide there is a section on "Set Policies". You use a PUT with the /configuration endpoint to set a particular policy parameter.
So, let's say you want to enforce a 1day period between client deletions. Using curl this would look like:
curl -k -X PUT -H "Content-type:application/json" -d "{\"licensing.dropClientEnforcedDelay\":\"1d\"}" -H "Authorization: Bearer producertoken" https://flexNNNN.compliance.flexnetoperations.com/api/1.0/instances/yourCLSID/configuration
Notice you cannot use the token obtain by authenticating with admin credentials as you don't want your end customers to be able to modify this policy. It must be sent with the token obtained from authenticating with producer credentials. As I referenced in my last post in this thread, you will need to submit a support ticket to get the Producer password set for your instance. Once you submit the ticket please post the Case# here and I can try to get it expedited.
Best regards,
