Creating a CLS Instance

In some cases, if your enterprise is large, it might be desirable to have multiple CLS instances. You can define new CLS instances in the End-User Portal. And, once defined, a CLS instance can submit its own capability requests to FlexNet Operations and serve its own licenses to served clients.

For descriptions of the attributes used to create a CLS instance, see Attributes of the CLS Instance.

To create a CLS instance

1. From the End-User Portal menu bar, click Devices > Create Device. The Device | New Device page opens.
2. Type a device Name.
3. Select the Runs license server? option. For Deployment, select Cloud.
4. Optionally, select a server Model from the drop-down list.
5. Optionally, select an Organization from the drop-down list. The organization identifies the customer or partner organization of the server.
6. Optionally, type a value for Site Name.
7. Click Save.

The End-User Portal creates the new CLS instance and opens its View Server page.
