FlexNet Operations Web Services Integration Guide

FlexNet Operations supports the integration of software license delivery into the business operations of software producers. Much of the FlexNet Operations functionality is exposed as SOAP-based Web Services to facilitate its integration with software producer back office systems. In addition, FlexNet Operations supports REST endpoints for managing entity-specific data extracts.

Some FlexNet Operations functionality is exposed for customization via web services. The protocol supported for implementing an external service depends on the functionality being customized.
