Defining a Deallocate Software License Workflow Step
Workflow Manager 2020
A workflow step of type Deallocate Software License involves a web service call to FlexNet Manager Suite. Such a step can be included in a workflow after a software license allocated to a computer or end-user is selected in an earlier data entry step. Completing the step then involves deallocating the chosen computer or end-user from the selected software license.
When you are completing this step, you will be presented with a dialog detailing the proposed deallocation. You need to approve the deallocation by clicking the Deallocate button, at which point the dialog closes.and the step is marked as complete. You will need a web service connection to FlexNet Manager Suite before you can complete this step.
For more information, see Default FlexNet Manager Suite Web Service Connection.
Important:In order for this step to work correctly, it is important that your workflow template also contains a Web Service Call data element which returns unused software license allocations for the workflow consumer to select. This element must be named and configured the same way as in the default Software Removal global template installed with Workflow Manager. You might find it helpful to copy the Software Removal global template and modify it, if you want to use the Deallocate Software License step in your own templates.
