Moving from Device Manager on SA to License Server Manager on LLS

The FlexNet License Server Manager is the UI administrator tool for the LLS, comparable to the Device Manager for the SA. Instructions for installing License Server Manager are found in the “Setting Up the FlexNet License Server Manager” chapter in the FlexNet License Server Manager Guide, which is available from the Revenera Product Documentation site (https://docs.revenera.com).

Differences Between the License Server Manager and the Device Manager

The following are some major differences between the License Server Manager and the Device Manager:

• The Reservations view in the License Server Manager is designed to manage license reservations using LLS reservation functionality. This functionality orders reservations in a group-hostid-entry hierarchy and uses JSON-formatted reservation definitions. No mechanism is available to migrate the reservation definitions from the SA to the LLS.

See the “More About License Server Functionality” in the FlexNet Embedded License Server Administration Guide.

• The Device Details page in the License Server Manager does not contain a Reserved Features section, showing the reserved feature counts for a specific client device, as it did in the Device Manager. However, in the License Server Manager, you can view the total reserved count for a specific feature on the Feature Details page.
• Similar to the Properties and Status view in the Device Manager, the Properties view in the License Server Manager shows properties and license server policies specific to the LLS. Refer to the following resources for more information:
• Migrating the License Server Configuration chapter for a mapping of policies between the LA and the SA
• “Reference: Policy Settings for the License Server” appendix in the FlexNet Embedded License Server Producer Guide for a description of the LLS policies and their corresponding labels in the License Server Manager
• The “Installing and Running the License Server” chapter in the FlexNet Embedded License Server Producer Guide for a description of LLS local-environment properties used to run the license server service
• Search and sort operations are not supported in the License Server Manager.
• Because the LLS does not support REST APIs that correspond to the SA’s /fne/xml/errorlog and /fne/xml/accesslog REST APIs, no log data can be retrieved and displayed. Consequently, the License Server Manager has no Server Logs view.
