  1. Coming Soon: Automated Export Compliance for Software Delivery

    To improve the customer experience, we plan to introduce an automated export compliance workflow for Software Delivery on October 6, 2026 (subject to testing and validation).

    This enhancement replaces a manual, time-consuming process with a streamlined, automated experience designed to improve efficiency, accuracy, and visibility throughout the export compliance process.

    What to Expect

    While export compliance requirements are not changing, customers can expect:

    • Automated export compliance notifications when a case is triggered
    • Electronic signature requests through Adobe Acrobat Sign
    • Automated notifications and confirmations throughout the process
    • Improved tracking and communication during export compliance reviews

    To prepare for this change, please review the following resources:

    If you have questions, please contact Revenera Technical Support or your trusted Revenera contact.

  2. Do downloaded license rights include Maintenance information?

    I have been tasked with having our client application warn the user when their Maintenance is about to expire. I am wondering if it is possible to check this information purely from the downloaded license rights that were downloaded when the user activated their license. Is this possible?

     

    I ask because many of our clients work on computers not allowed to connect to the internet. They use off-line activations. So our client code cannot query our FlexNet Operations server.

     

    So once I have activated an entitlement on a client computer and that entitlement has associated maintenance, is it possible for the client code to query the maintenance information without connecting to the internet, purely from the downloaded license information?

     

    If so, how? (This last part might be better asked on the FNE forum but any guidance I could get here would be good).

     

    If not, is there any way I may I implement this feature without requiring a user to connect to the internet?

  3. Confusing about how / when in code to set VMDetectionEnabled FNE_Client_DontNet_XT_API_2025-09 API

    We are using the SDK described by this document: FNE_Client_DontNet_XT_API_2025-09 API.

    The doc only says "Sets whether or not virtual machine detections is enabled."

     

    What happens in these situations?

     

    License object is created using:

    licenseObject = LicensingFactory.GetLicensing(IdentityClient.IdentityData, path, <StringHostID>

    licenseObject.LicenseManager.VMDetectionEnabled = true

     

    Machine A Virtual Machine - <StringHostID> has no value

    Machine B Physical Machine <StringHostID> has no value

    Machine C Virtual Machine <StringHostID> has a value

    Machine D Physical Machine <StringHostID> has a value

  5. How can I fix the link between a CLS and a account in FNO On-prem?

    Hello,

     

    I currently have the problem that the CLS instance and an account got disconnected in my FNO on-prem instance. Meaning the CLS Server Device still got the link to the account it serves, but the account does not contain the backlink to the CLS server.

     

    This has the effect, that every time a line item that has "Auto Provision" set to true is deployed for that customer, a new CLS Server is created.

     

    How can I fix this issue?

  6. Creating a 'demo' Producer Fails Following the Getting Started Guide

    Our parent company is changing, and we need to test swapping out producer identity information in our FNE toolkit artifacts.

     

    However, attempting the "Adding a Publisher and a Publisher Identity", under the Getting started with FNE Setup Exercises: I'm getting the following error:

    '''

    [default task-61] ERROR (lfs) [ADMN] Publisher keys not valid.

    com.flexnet.lfs.webservice.LFSFaultResponse_Exception:LFSError:INVALID_PUBLISHER_KEYS

    '''

    We have two publishers already defined in our FNO on-Prem instances, but both need to be superseded in the future.

     

    How does one overcome this issue?

    Anyone else done this before and had success - with existing publisher identities?

     

    Thanks all

  7. what is token based licensing
    Question with a best answer.

    Best Answer

    Hi @bstenlund​ ,

     

    Typically token based licensing refers to a consumptive licensing model where a customer purchases a quantity of tokens and then "spends" the tokens to use features/functions/capabilities within a software application.

     

    Best regards,

    Jim
