Importing the Application Recognition Library (ARL)

FlexNet Manager Suite Cloud and FlexNet Manager Suite On Premises come with an Application Recognition Library, a SKU (stock keeping unit) Library, and several Product Use Rights Libraries (the latter depending on which options you have purchased for the product). The Application Recognition Library is the repository for the FlexeraID that is used to relate application records between FlexNet Manager Suite, AdminStudio, and App Portal.

These libraries are updated regularly by Flexera Software and normally downloaded automatically. At installation time, however, you need to download the libraries to create a baseline ready for product use.

Perform the following procedure as administrator (FNMS-Admin) with database rights.

To download and import the latest libraries:

On the processing server (or application server for a single-server implementation), open a Command Window and navigate to installation-folder\DotNet\bin\.

Run the Recognition data import scheduled task to update these libraries.

Note:On this server, the Recognition data import Windows scheduled task updates these libraries by default at 1 a.m. daily.

Important:For FlexNet Manager Suite Cloud, the latest version of the Application Recognition and Product Use Rights libraries are continually being updated; therefore, there is no need to download these libraries.
