Prerequisites

The exercises in this getting started section make use of the entities created as part of the exercises in the section Getting Started with Entitlement Management. This section lists the customer account, customer user, product, product line, and entitlements created in Getting Started with Entitlement Management.

Before you begin the exercises in this getting started section:

The FlexNet Operations demonstration database and seed data must be loaded. (Revenera loads this data as part of the on-boarding process.)
You must have a FlexNet Operations Producer Portal login.
You must have a FlexNet Operations Notification Server URL (supplied by Revenera)
You should have access to the Notification Server REST APIs.

Additionally, the exercises in this getting started section make use of the product, features, and entitlements created in the exercises of the sections Getting Started with Entitlement Management and Getting Started with Electronic Software Delivery. Any product will suffice, as a sample to which download packages can be linked, but the exercises here use the products created in those getting started sections.

For Producer Portal users who have not yet created their own products and customer users, these items are necessary for the rest of the exercises in this section.

If these entities, such as the entitlement, ENT-PhotoPrint or the download package PhotoPrintInstaller, do not yet exist in your FlexNet Operations instance, follow the exercises in the sections Getting Started with Entitlement Management and Getting Started with Electronic Software Delivery to create the necessary entities. For the purposes of these exercises you can skip the section on Viewing and Downloading Files from the End-User Portal in Getting Started with Electronic Software Delivery.

Important:If the customer user, Lisa Barry, already exists but is not associated with an email address you control, you must create another customer user in the Barry Photography Studio account with the Portal User role. Choose an email address you control for this new customer user so that you can use it to log in to the End-User Portal and see the downloads.

Later in this section, you will create an additional download package and file to be the deliverables for the PhotoPrint update.
