Impact of Partitions Functionality on Using Reservations

The reservation feature is now implemented via partitions. Any existing reservation groups on the license server are automatically translated into partitions and rules which are saved in a model definition with the model name reservations. This model definition is regenerated immediately when reservations are edited.

The automatic generation of the reservations model definition has no impact on the reservations functionality. You can continue configuring reservations using the FlexNet License Server Administrator command-line tool or the FlexNet License Server Manager, and the license server will distribute licenses according to the reservations that have been configured.

However, if you want to continue using reservations, it is imperative that you do not configure a new model definition and upload it. Configuring a new model definition will remove all reservations on the license server.
