Entitlement Management Enhancements in 2024.09
The following enhancement to entitlement management was added in the 2024.09 release:
New Merge Tag for Line Item Creation Date in Email Templates
A new merge tag [[LineItemCreationDate]] has been added to the Entitlement, Entitlement Certificate, and License email templates. This tag enables producers to insert the line item’s creation date into the relevant email.
“/features” Endpoint Returning Product Information
Currently, any licensing information that is passed between FlexNet Operations and a FlexNet Embedded license server is feature centric. This can make it difficult for producers and their customers to see which products are currently licensed, and which licenses are available on the license server.
To address this challenge, the 2024.09 release includes an enhancement where a number of endpoints for FlexNet Embedded license servers (local license servers and Cloud License Server instances) now return additional product-related information.
Returned Product Information
The following product information can be returned:

Retaining Filtered Products When Configuring Line Items
When creating or updating entitlements, while configuring line items, users can now select products across multiple searches. Products selected from each search will be retained and all products selected from each search can be linked to the line item that is being configured.
This new functionality is available as part of the standard search; it is not available for the advanced search.
