Adding Files
The first step in making files available to your customers in the End-User Portal is to add the files to FlexNet Operations.
After a file is added, you can upload a file image and associate the file with one or more download packages. See Editing File Information and Managing File Associations for more information about the actions you can take once a file has been added.
