Predefined Substitution Variables for License Strings

Variables can be used as values for supported license strings: VENDOR_STRING, NOTICE, ISSUER, and SERIAL_NUMBER. These variables are resolved when the license is generated.

To express a predefined substitution variable in a license string, on the Create a License Model page, specify the value of the string as the substitution variable enclosed in curly braces. For example, to use the Sold-to account ID use {SoldTo.name} or to use the Sold-to account name use {SoldTo.displayName}.

Important:Predefined substitution variables can be used with custom license technologies provided the license technology implements the GeneratorRequest interface.

The following substitution variables are defined:

Feature version

{Feature.version}

This variable can only be used in the Vendor String field.

The format of the feature version specified using the {Feature.version} variable depends on its location:

•

The Vendor String field outside of the FlexNet Publisher license lists all feature versions that are present in the product as comma-separated values.

•

Inside the FlexNet Publisher license, each individual INCREMENT line displays the VENDOR_STRING keyword with its feature version.
