Adding Third-Party License Servers
Before you can add a third-party license server to FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications, you must first create a report log definition and create a licensing template to support the licensing system used by the license server. See the topic, Workflow for Adding Third-Party License Servers, for more information.
The license server command definitions are based on what is defined in a third-party licensing template, but you can customize these definitions on a per–license server basis.
To add a third-party license server:
| 1. | From the Servers tab, under Third-Party License Servers, click the Third-Party License Server Summary. |
| 2. | Click New Third-Party License Server. |
| 3. | Provide information about the license server. |
