Important:Notice that the product ID for PhotoPrint is a combination of the product name and product version: PhotoPrint::12.0. This is how FlexNet Operations identifies the product, internally. One ramification of the product ID syntax is that a search for the product by its product name, PhotoPrint, does not match the product ID. For best results, use an asterisk as a wildcard character to be sure your product search captures the product you are looking for. For example, Photo* or PhotoPrint* successfully finds PhotoPrint.
The Producer Portal saves the product-download package association and shows the Where Download Package Used page for PhotoPrintInstaller.
