Importing an Updated Flexera License

You may require an updated license for FlexNet Manager Suite when:

• You are upgrading from an early release that supported FlexNet Report Designer to the current version, supporting Flexera Analytics
• You are upgrading from a release prior to 2016 R1 to the current version.

It is possible that details of your license were emailed to you as part of the order confirmation process for your upgrade. If not, have your support liaison person raise a support ticket to request the license upgrade, and await its arrival in email.

Continue this process as administrator (fnms-admin), on the appropriate server (the one that includes the batch server):

• The application server (in a single server implementation)
• The processing server (in a two server application implementation)
• The batch server (in a three server application implementation).

To activate FlexNet Manager Suite with the upgraded license:

1. On the appropriate server, save a copy of your updated license in a convenient folder (such as your installation folder), where it is accessible for this activation process.
2. In Windows Explorer, navigate to the Installation-Dir\DotNet\bin folder.
   Replace Installation-Dir with your installation folder. The default location is C:\Program Files (x86)\Flexera Software\FlexNet Manager Platform\DotNet\bin.
3. Execute (double-click) ManageSoft.Activation.Wizard.exe.
4. Import your updated license to use FlexNet Manager Suite.

The terms of your updated license are now visible: navigate to the system menu ( in the top right corner) of the web interface, and select FlexNet Manager Suite License.
