Hi @ankurshah32,
Per @sgeary's question, it looks like your question is better suited for one of our other product forums. We have two technologies that enable software licensing (FlexNet Embedded and FlexNet Publisher). I will move your post to the FlexNet Embedded product forum for now, to get you started. But please feel free to also post your question on the FlexNet Publisher forum if you'd like to learn more about that solution as well.
Also if you are already a Revenera customer, we invite you to take a look at our Revenera Learning Center to check out the growing library of getting started tutorials.
I hope that helps!
-Christine

The FlexNet Publisher 2020 R4 (11.17.2) is available for download from our Product and License Center. This release includes the following enhancements:
FlexNet Publisher-enabled applications running in a container environment can use two new APIs to:
Detect if the application is running in a container and modify its behavior based on the outcome.
Return the CONTAINER_ID and use this as a vendor defined hostid for the concurrent licensing model.
Support for the Common Vendor Daemon (CVD) is re-introduced in this release, allowing producers to configure a single vendor daemon to serve features from one or more vendor daemons.
The addition of the AUTO_ROLLOVER option provides automatic rollover of the debug log, making it easier to manage the size of debug log files.
Users with elevated privileges are now able to remotely install or uninstall the FNPLicensingService.
A batch checkout minimal viable product is being introduced in this release. This initial solution enables producers to specify a collection of features in a single license request to help improve server performance. NOTE: Please see the limitations listed in the FlexNet Publisher 2020 R4 (11.17.2) Release Notes.
For more details about the release, please take a look at the FlexNet Publisher 2020 R3 (11.17.2) Release Notes which are available on the Product and License Center.

The FlexNet Operations Cloud 2020 R3 SP3 release is available on the UAT environment.
Here are the release highlights for FlexNet Operations Cloud 2020 R3 SP3 ALM:
Device Management A device-centric view of downloads can be enabled and offers users the ability to not only see the Electronic Software Delivery (ESD) downloads applicable to the device, but also download those contents directly from the device view.
Updates and Insights Producers can now log events to capture valuable information about how their software is being used, new feature adoption, and device status details. (NOTE: Event logging requires the Updates and Insights paid module.)
Download Manager The Download Manager now has the capability to obtain the proxy server configuration settings required to support downloads from an end user system, configured to use a proxy server. Eliminating the need for the end user to manually provide the proxy server settings to the Download Manager, it offers a more seamless user experience.
Additional Enhancements The release also includes several enhancements that improve usability and expands on existing functionality.
The getDevice web service can now return the device creation date.
The last modified date for email template content changes is now displayed with the new Date Modified column on the List Email Templates and List All Versions pages.
Producers can customize their end user login page by adding a custom message to better serve their users.
For more information about this release, please review the FlexNet Operations Cloud 2020 R3 SP3 ALM Release Notes.

This post is an update regarding the FlexNet Embedded Licensing 2020 R3 SP2 release schedule change, announced in the previous post.
During the testing of the new release, we identified product regressions that could lead to performance issues. In the interest of our customers, we agreed to move the release to in order to address these issues. The issue fixes will require more testing time than estimated, to validate all use cases and ensure no other regressions are introduced.
If the testing delivers the results we anticipate, the target release date for FlexNet Embedded 2020 R3 SP2 client kits and the local license server is November 7, 2020.
We appreciate your continued patience and understanding. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your Revenera contact or our Revenera Technical Support.
