Device Registration
Instructions for registering a device are described in the following sections:
• | Register a Device |
• | Poll for Device Registration Status |
Register the device with FlexNet Operations to enable it to receive information about updates which have entitlement checking enabled.
Note:It is recommended that devices—including anonymous devices—register themselves using this API, to avoid a manual step of registering using the FlexNet Operations Producer Portal.

Response codes |
200: Processing complete. 202: Submitted request is still being processed. Use the URL returned to continue to poll for the response. 401: The request is unauthorized. This could be because a JWT was not found in the header, the token has expired, the signature is invalid, or a public key could not be identified (most commonly because the public key has not been uploaded to FlexNet Operations). |

"key": "string",
"message": "string"

{
"url": "string"
}
