More About the Expiring Lines Shown on the Expiring Entitlements Page

FlexNet Operations determines what to show in this page according to the lines’ expiration dates, the current date, and the system configuration settings, Renewal Critical, Expiring Window, and Renewal Look Ahead. The graphic below illustrates how three entitlement lines with different expiration dates are shown on the Expiring Entitlements page.

Note:The start date and expiration dates shown below are the same as those for the lines used in the exercises in the next section, Notifying End Users about Expiring Entitlements. See Preparing Entitlement Line Items for Renewal Exercises for more information on these entitlement lines.

Entitlement lines shown on the Expiring Entitlements page include ACT-01 and ACT-02. ACT-03 expires outside the Renewal Look Ahead range (default: 200 days).

The Expiring Entitlements page lists all the entitlement and maintenance lines to which the end user is entitled and that are due to expire within the Renewal Look Ahead range (default: 200 days from the current date). This page also highlights lines with different background colors if their expiration dates fall within the Renewal Critical (default: 30 days) or the Expiring Window (default: 90 days).

•

ACT-01 expires on 7 May 2017, which occurs within the Renewal Critical range (default: 30 days). Therefore, it appears on the Expiring Entitlements page and is highlighted in red to indicate it is 30 days or fewer until its expiration date.

•

ACT-02 expires on 7 August 2017, which occurs outside the Renewal Critical range and outside of the Expiration Window range (default: 90 days). Therefore, it appears on the Expiring Entitlements page but is not highlighted. (If its expiration date fell within 30-90 days from the current date, it would have a yellow highlight to indicate its expiration date fell within the Expiring Window.)

•

ACT-03 expires on 7 November 2017. Because its expiration date happens outside the Renewal Look Ahead range (default: 200 days), it is not shown on the Expiring Entitlements page. (There are 204 days between 17 April 2017 and 7 November 2017. If its expiration date fell within the Renewal Look Ahead range, this line would be included on the Expiring Entitlements page.)
