Comparison of the Analysis Techniques

FlexNet Code Insight 6.13.3

All the analysis techniques described in this chapter generate groups, which are groupings of files identified by the same third-party component, version, and license (although a license might not be available for some dual or multi-licensed groups). Groups can then be automatically or manually published—that is, promoted to inventory and made available in Code Insight’s Web user interface for further review and inclusion in your product’s Bill of Materials.

The following table provides a comparison of other important features (aside from group creation) that these various analysis techniques support:
