About FlexNet Usage Management

FlexNet Usage Management adds usage management support to FlexNet Operations. In conjunction with FlexNet Embedded licensing, FlexNet Usage management includes the ability to set up usage-enabled license models, products, license servers and view usage history reports in the FlexNet Operations Producer Portal.

FlexNet Operations and FlexNet Usage Management help application producers maximize software revenues and eliminate revenue leakage through new support of increasingly popular usage-based trust but verify, pay-for-use, and pay-for-overage models. FlexNet Usage Management provides application producers the flexibility to implement any software licensing model across the entire spectrum—from strict enforcement to usage-based, trust but verify.

In FlexNet Operations, usage management functionality is integrated with license models, features, products, and other components, and supported on FlexNet Embedded hosts, devices, and license servers. In the Producer Portal, usage reports are available from the Usage menu. (See Managing Usage.) In the End-User Portal, users in customer accounts can view usage reports for their account.
