Electronic Software Delivery Issues Resolved in 2022.02
The following issue was resolved for Electronic Software Delivery (ESD) in the 2022.02 release.
Maintenance Expiration Now Properly Updated to ESD Line Items
Previously (from 2021.03 forward), when a maintenance line item was linked to an ESD entitlement line item through the FlexNet Operations UI or Web Services, the maintenance expiration date was not updated to the entitlement line item.
This issue is now resolved. When a maintenance line item is linked to an ESD entitlement line item, the expiration date of the maintenance line item now takes precedence over the entitlement line expiration date. For example, if the entitlement line item is permanent, linking a maintenance line item with a fixed expiration date will ensure that the ESD entitlement expires on that date.
For more information about the visibility of download packages based on the maintenance line expiration, see the following topic in the “Getting Started with Electronic Software Delivery” section of the FlexNet Operations User Guide:
This fix applies only when maintenance line items are linked to ESD entitlement line items through the FlexNet Operations UI or Web Services. This issue still exists when using Import Data Template functionality to link maintenance line items to ESD entitlement line items.
