Updates and Insights Next Steps
Before carrying out the following steps, it is recommended that the device is registered with FlexNet Operations. This enables you to verify that an update has been successful.
Registration can be achieved:
|
•
|
Using the FlexNet Operations Producer Portal |
|
•
|
Carrying out a capability request with a valid activation ID |
|
•
|
Using the /registrations REST API in the Notification Server. This last method is particularly recommended for anonymous devices, because they will not have an activation ID to be able to execute a capability request. The
/registrations API allows a device to register itself with FlexNet Operations, and avoids the manual step of using the Producer Portal. |
