About Package Products
The Package Products section of the Producer Portal lets you add product information to FlexNet Producer Portal, edit or update products that are already in the system, and upload the actual downloadable files.
You manage products at three different levels in the Producer Portal:
| • | Catalog Items (price list items) represent the things that your company sells. For example, a product or a maintenance agreement. Catalog Items have attributes such as default duration, whether the Catalog Item includes updates (maintenance), etc. Catalog Items generally reference one or more Products. |
| • | Products (product releases) represent the things that your company wants delivered. For example, a specific version of a product. Products have attributes such as export licenses, version number, platform, archive dates, etc.. Products reference one or more Files. |
| • | Files (images) are the actual software files that the end user downloads. For example, the installation executable for a particular platform. A File may be associated to one or more Products. |
The QuickSearch box lets you quickly find a Catalog Item or Product if you know the corresponding Name or ID. If your search criteria match more than one Catalog Item or Product, you will be given the opportunity to choose the Catalog Item or Product from a list. This function is not case sensitive and supports the use of the "*" character as a wildcard in most fields.
