For information on adding FlexNet Connect support to an InstallScript project, consult the Knowledge Base.

FlexNet Connect provides a mechanism that enables you to automatically notify your Web-connected end users when patches, updates, and product information for your application are ready for release. FlexNet Connect helps you reduce the number of end users running old releases of your products and prevent them from installing the wrong updates from your Web site.

FlexNet Connect Implementation

There are two cycles of tasks that you perform when using FlexNet Connect to automatically inform end users about updates: initial deployment and update deployment. Once you have performed the initial deployment steps for your application, each time you want to distribute an update of that application to your customers, you perform the update deployment cycle of steps. To learn about the update deployment steps, see Notifying End Users about Upgrades Using FlexNet Connect.

Initial Deployment

FlexNet Connect includes a variety of options that can be purchased together for a complete solution, or separately for a customized solution. To learn more, visit the Flexera Software Web site.
