When you add subsequent products to a license (after adding the first one), the Product is primary option is selected by default.

Describes if this product is primary for this license. This option is selected by default when you add an additional product to a multi-product license. A multi-product license covers a group of software products that are sold together

Measure for compliance | Select this check box if you want FlexNet Manager Suite to measure the installation of this product for compliance. In a typical multi-product license, the supplementary product installation does not consume entitlements, and you can leave this check box clear. |
Ratio of this supplementary product to primary product(s) | Available only when Measure for compliance is selected,
this option is mainly useful for Core Points licenses like IBM PVU .
Here you can specify the ratio of this supplementary product to its primary
product(s). For example, if every two installations of the primary product allow a
free installation of this supplementary product, use the number spinners to set the
ratio to 1:2 (the supplementary product count comes
first). |
