Associating Vendor Daemons with Software Producers

The vendor daemon is the process that serves licenses for a particular product’s features. A single software producer may have multiple vendor daemons associated with it.

Vendor daemons are automatically added to the FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications database as needed, when report logs are imported. You associate vendor daemons with software producers to tie the usage of features—served by vendor daemons—to the usage of products, which are created by software producers.

Depending on whether the vendor daemon already exists in the FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications database, you can:

Assign an unassigned vendor daemon to a software producer.

Manually add a vendor daemon to a software producer.
