How to Return an Entitlement Back to the Pool When a Device Dies in FlexNet Operations On-Premises?
To elaborate, the question is regarding devices in Flexnet Operations and the entitlements that are created as add on licenses for those devices. The issue is if the Device becomes un-working then how to return the licenses back to the entitlement pool, as there is no way of sending a capability request from the device.
Answer
To return the licenses back to the pool, the process would be to manually obsolete the device in the manage devices tab and then delete the device.Was this helpful?
