Manual Repair

Trusted repairs are normally done programmatically as transactions between a client or server activation utility and the FlexNet Operations server. The activation utility generates a request that is submitted programmatically and the FlexNet Operations server generates a response that is used to complete the repair.

However, a repair request can also be generated and written to a file by a FlexNet Publisher Licensing Toolkit activation utility running on the machine on which the license will be repaired.

• The file containing the request is sent to the publisher and loaded into FlexNet Operations to generate a response.
• The response is saved to a file; the file is sent to the customer and is used by the FlexNet Publisher Licensing Toolkit activation utility to process the response and repair the license.

To generate a response to a repair request submitted in a file

1. Instruct the customer to use the FlexNet Publisher Licensing Toolkit activation utility that you provide to generate and save to a file a repair request. The activation utility requires the fulfillment ID of the license.
2. Click Licenses > Manual Repair.
3. Browse to the XML file that contains the repair request.
4. Click Submit to generate and view the repair response.
