Getting Started with Usage Management
The purpose of this getting started section is to provide an overview on the use of the FlexNet Operations and FlexNet Usage Management (a feature of FlexNet Operations). These components, when used with FlexNet licensing products, 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. Revenera’s market-leading compliance management solution provides application producers the flexibility to implement any software licensing model across the entire spectrum—from strict enforcement to usage-based, trust but verify.
This getting started section primarily describes concepts and tasks related to FlexNet Operations with FlexNet Usage Management. For information about implementing an application that performs usage capture, see the appropriate FlexNet licensing documentation. For example, if you are implementing a connected software client that will run in a customer environment, see your FlexNet client documentation: The FlexNet Embedded Client C SDK User Guide or the FlexNet Embedded Client C XT SDK User Guide.
It is expected that you will use this section Getting Started with Usage Management in conjunction with the usage-capture instructions in your FlexNet licensing user guide.
