Introduction to License Rule Sets

FlexNet Manager Suite ()

License rules are grouped together to form license rule sets.

Each license rule set is tied to a system, a system group, or an entire system landscape for which it can be active. Each rule within the set can also be assigned to specific systems or system groups. You can create multiple rule sets to cover specific parts of the system landscape. Where multiple rules or rule sets apply to the same system, FlexNet Manager for SAP Applications enables you to manage the precedence of rules or rule sets. For more information, see Changing the Order of Rules and Rule Sets.

You maintain your rule sets on the License Assignment Rules: system landscape name page. Here you can create, view, and delete rule sets.
