Uploading an Externally-Created Identity
If you used the Publisher Identity utility (pubidutil) to generate the identity information, you need to upload the back-office identity file to FlexNet Operations on the Create Identity page.
Important:Be aware that the identity files you use throughout an environment must all be generated at the same time. You must never mix identity data generated at different times or with different tools. For example, using client identity data generated with “pubidutil” in combination with back-office identity data generated with FlexNet Operations will result in a run-time error.
Note:For more information about the Publisher Identity utility (pubidutil), see the FlexNet Embedded documentation.
