Emailing a License

A new or previously generated license certificate or custom license can be sent as an email attachment to one or more email addresses. The email attachment is sent as a file, by default called licensexxxxx.lic, where xxxxx is a random number. The default subject line is License.

The Ship to email field contains the email address where the license is to be sent. This field contains email addresses that were specified in the entitlement or during license generation. Click Search to select an email address for one of the contacts in the sold-to account. Additional email addresses can be entered, and multiple email addresses are formatted in a comma-separated list with no spaces.

After the email is sent, a confirmation message is displayed on the page.

You must configure FlexNet Operations before you can successfully email a license certificate:

If you are emailing license certificates to customers, in the FlexNet Platform Server configuration settings, set the Outbound Mail Server Host to your organization’s mail server and From-Address for Outbound Mail to the email address you want to use as the sending address for license emails.
You may want to edit the license file base name, which is license by default. The License File Name can be changed in the FlexNet Operations system configuration settings. Note that a random number is added to this base name and a .lic extension is added.
