FlexNet/FLEXlm

BASIS products use FlexNet software licensing (formerly FLEXlm) from Flexera Software (formerly Acresso and Macrovision). The process of licensing is different than our previous activation key method. For initial BASIS Product installations using the FlexNet licensing software, contact BASIS for license authorization and/or registration. Then install the license according to the installation instructions for your specific product as published in the BASIS online help. With the appropriate hostid information, you can install and register licenses remotely. In many cases, BASIS can also automatically register updates or upgrades after the initial registration process is complete.
