With the latest release of
License Distribution Service, we've added support for FLEXnet and custom license generators, easily accessible using the License Service Administrator user interface. This enhancement was done in response to several requests from large companies who are interested in supporting their existing legacy licensing technology while transitioning to the newer and easier license models that
LM-X License Manager provides.
With License Distribution Service, customers can now continue to ship software using existing license generators while migrating. This ability to have one infrastructure for all licensing instead of maintaining several different systems carries with it significant cost savings. Furthermore, this implementation is on a per-product basis, allowing you to use a legacy licensing technology in the current version of your product and then upgrade to LM-X with a later version of your product.
As always, License Distribution Service is included free with LM-X License Manager for smaller companies (those managing up to 100 license orders), and if you're an existing LM-X customer, you can start taking advantage of the benefits of the latest release immediately.
