Auto-Provisioning

When the license model permits auto-provisioning, cloud licensing service instances can be automatically generated by FlexNet Operations.

When auto-provisioning is permitted, FlexNet Operations generates a new license server when an entitlement using such a license model and owned by an end customer account, is deployed. Also, line items included in the entitlement are automatically mapped to the license server instance.

When auto-provisioning is not permitted, producers can create the license server instance manually. In this scenario, the producer uses the Create License Server page to create a license server for the end customer and then manually maps the entitlement line items to that server.

The exercises in this getting started section make use of auto-provisioning in the license model to streamline license server creation and entitlement mapping.
