Viewing Entitlements

FlexNet Operations 2017

The List Entitlements by Order page displays entitlements. To view all entitlements, select Entitlement IDor Orderable from the Search for drop-down, and click the Simple Search icon. You can also search for entitlements based on specific criteria.

Tip • When an entitlement has been upgraded, upsold, or renewed, the Map Entitlements page shows only the most recent entitlement in its lifecycle chain. Earlier entitlements are grouped under the most recent entitlement but initially hidden. These entitlement groups have a Show Upgrades button to reveal earlier entitlements in the list.

From this page, you can:

Change the state of an entitlement

To change the state of one or more entitlements, select the entitlements, click the Change state drop-down, and select a state. Entitlements can be in one of the following states: Draft, Deployed, Test, Inactive, or Obsolete.

•

Draft: Draft entitlements can be created only from deployed products and suites.

•

Deployed: Deploying a draft entitlement automatically deploys all line items on the entitlement and allows the line items to be activated, upgraded, upsold, or renewed. Line items added to a deployed entitlement must be manually deployed before they can be activated.

•

Inactive: If an entitlement is made inactive, all of the line items in the entitlement are made inactive and cannot be activated, upgraded, upsold, or renewed. Existing fulfillments against an inactive line item cannot be returned, repaired, or rehosted.

•

Obsolete: An entitlement can be made obsolete if it is no longer required or it was created and deployed in error. An obsolete line item cannot be fulfilled. Fulfillments of an obsolete entitlement line item cannot be rehosted.

•

Test: Test entitlements cannot be changed to any other state. They can be created from draft products and suites. Test entitlement line items can be activated, upgraded, upsold, renewed, or deleted. Test fulfillments created from test entitlements can be returned, repaired, rehosted, and deleted.

Export entitlement(s)

Options displayed on the drop-down menu are controlled by a user’s Export and Import permission.

Users with Export and Import permission see the complete list of data export options, including those with high impact, such as All Items.
