Adding Products
Before you can map licensed features to a product (to provide for product-based reporting), you create a product definition in FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications. After you add a product, you assign features to the product to provide the basis for product-level usage reporting.
To add a product:
| 1. | From the Planner tab, under Products, click Products to display the Products page. |
| 2. | Click the Add Product button. |
| 3. | In the Add Product page, provide the product settings. Required settings are identified by a red asterisk (*). |

Software Producer |
Specify the software producer that makes this product or, if you have already added software producers, select one from the list. If the software producer does not appear in the list, type the name of the software producer in the text box. This adds the software producer to the FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications system. The software producer will appear in both the Software Producer list (under the Products tab) and on the Software Producers page. |

Name of the software product whose usage you want to track. You will later associate licensed features with the product. |

Specify a product family or choose one from the list. When you type a family name, the name is added to the Existing Families drop-down menu. |
|
Category |
Specify a product category or choose one from the list. The category typically identifies the type of product. For example, the product might belong to the EDA (electronic design automation) category. When you type a category name, the name is added to the Existing Categories drop-down menu. |
