Flexera Identifier Dialog Box

AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | Application Manager

Important:Creating a local Flexera Identifier requires FlexNet Manager Suite 2015 R2 SP3 or later.

A Flexera Identifier is a unique code assigned to applications by FlexNet Manager Suite that is used to link application information from Application Manager with application information in App Portal and FlexNet Manager Suite.

If both Application Manager and FlexNet Manager Suite are connected to the same Flexera Service Gateway, each time you import an application into the Application Catalog, a search for the application’s Flexera Identifier is performed, and if it is found, it is listed on the General Information tab of the Application View.

Sometimes, an application’s Flexera Identifier is not found, such as when the value of the information in the application’s Product Name, Version, Edition, or Publisher fields is either incorrect or too specific. If a Flexera Identifier is not found, you can use the Flexera Identifier dialog box to perform a search.

To open the Flexera Identifier dialog box, click the browse button in the Flexera Identifier field on the General Information tab of the Application View. You can also open it by clicking Assign Flexera ID on the Application Search Results dialog box (which is opened by clicking the Unrecognized Applications in the toolbar).
