Benefits of Using FlexNet Publisher
Using FlexNet Publisher to control usage of licenses offers the following key advantages:
Single-Server Solution—FlexNet Publisher can manage PTC software and other vendor applications without conflict. Note that the PTC license file cannot be combined with the license files of other vendors.
Immediate License Recovery—If there is a premature exit of the licensed software (for example, the system shuts down), the FlexNet Publisher license server automatically reclaims the PTC license.
Increased Flexibility—System administrators can reserve or deny licenses based on user name, host name, display name, or IP address. For more information see Managing the Options File in the FlexNet Publisher License Administration Guide.
Centralized License Storage—PTC customers can store all PTC licenses for all PTC products in a single file for each license server.
Multiple Licenses for a Single Command—One command can be used to execute multiple licenses of PTC software based on availability.
License Borrowing—Using FlexNet Publisher 8.6 or later, you can borrow licenses from a license server and run a licensed application on a remote client without being connected to the license server.
