Uploading Usage Data
Mainly for internal testing, producers can upload raw usage data to the Producer Portal. This option allows you to see how usage data captured by your usage-enabled FlexNet Embedded clients is rendered in usage history reports without waiting for the clients to report data over long periods.
To upload historical usage data, you must create a comma-separated value file in which each line follows the syntax shown below:
ISO 8601 date,count,feature name,activation code[,requestor ID,acquisition ID,key=value, ...]
Additional file content and format requirements appear on the Upload Historical Usage page.
To upload usage data
| 1. | In the Producer Portal, click Usage > Upload Historical Usage. The Producer Portal opens the Upload Historical Usage page. |
| 2. | On the Upload Historical Usage page, use the browser controls to specify a CSV file on your system to upload. (The exact controls vary in different web browsers.) |
| 3. | Click Upload. |
The Producer Portal uploads the usage data.
