Administering License Technologies

In addition to FlexNet Publisher Licensing Toolkit technology, FlexNet Operations supports the use of other license technologies with the core product packaging, entitlement generation, and license support capabilities.

FlexNet Publisher Licensing Toolkit is a feature-based license technology, wherein a software product’s binary code is rendered into licensable features. Variations of the product are achieved by combining different licensed features using FlexNet Operations product packaging rather than changing the binary code. You can view the components of the FlexNet Publisher Licensing Toolkit technology by navigating to Administer > License Technologies, and clicking FlexNet Publisher Licensing Toolkit.
