Displaying Entitlement ID and Start Date on Remove Licenses Page
In the 2024.07 release, the Device Details and Map Entitlements pages were updated to optionally display additional information (see Displaying Entitlement ID and Start Date on Device Details and Map Entitlements Pages).
The 2024.08 release includes a similar enhancement; the Remove Licenses and Map by Activation IDs pages can now optionally also display a line item’s start date or its entitlement ID or both.
The following existing system configuration options (under System > Configure > FlexNet Operations > Embedded Device Settings) have been enhanced to control the display of a line item’s start date or its entitlement ID on the Remove Licenses and Map by Activation IDs pages:
| • | Display start date—Displays or hides the Start Date column on the Device Details, Map Entitlements, Map by Activation IDs, and Remove Licenses pages while viewing a license server (local license server or Cloud Licensing Service instance) or standalone device. Default: disabled. |
| • | Display entitlement ID—Displays or hides the Entitlement ID column on the Device Details, Map Entitlements, Map by Activation IDs, and Remove Licenses pages while viewing a license server (local license server or Cloud Licensing Service instance) or standalone device. Default: disabled. |
Note:You access the pages mentioned above as follows:
| • | Device Details page: click Devices > Devices > select a device. The new columns are displayed in the Licenses section. |
| • | Map Entitlements page: click Devices > Devices > select a device. On the Device page, click Licenses > Map Entitlements. The new columns are displayed in the Entitlements Available section. |
| • | Map by Activation IDs page: click Devices > Devices > select a device. On the Device page, click Licenses > Map by Activation IDs. The new columns are displayed in the Entitlements Available section. |
| • | Remove Licenses page: click Devices > Devices > select a device. On the Device page, click Licenses > Remove Licenses. The new columns are displayed in the Licenses Currently Mapped section. |
Fewer Clicks Required to Change Line Items’ Start or Expiration Dates
A new button Change Start/Expiration Date has been added to the Entitle Customers To Licenses page. It enables producers to change the start and/or expiration date for multiple line items in an entitlement in one step.
In addition, also on the Entitle Customers To Licenses page, the table under Line Items now includes a Start date column, giving producers visibility over all start dates for all activation IDs.
