FlexNet Connect
FlexNet Connect®
provides application producers
(software publishers and intelligent device
manufacturers) the most efficient way to provide
end-users with the latest software updates and
to obtain valuable insight into their product use.
FlexNet Connect manages rule-based software
update delivery, displays in-product messages, and
automatically reports key information about the
installed base.
In addition to application producers, many
enterprises rely heavily on applications built by
their own software developers to support their day-
to-day business operations. Unfortunately, these
critical homegrown applications are often the most
difficult to manage, requiring frequent updates and
patches to function properly. Keeping users on
the latest version is vital to maintaining business
productivity, but it can be a never-ending headache
for IT – especially when users are located in multiple
geographic locations and possibly disconnected
from the corporate network.
Application producers using
FlexNet Connect’s in-app
client can have full control
over the update experience
for end users. Updating
complex applications
supported on multiple
platforms and languages
and requiring complex
multiple files per update can
be cumbersome and error
prone – FlexNet Connect
streamlines the update
authoring process even for
such applications.
FlexNet Connect is available
as an On-Premises or as a
Cloud, software-as-a-service
deployment.
Minimize Support Calls and Customer Downtime
with Electronic Software Updates
Delivering the right update to the right application,
version and machine is critical to minimizing
support calls and costs from users on outdated or
unsupported application versions. FlexNet Connect
has a sophisticated targeting system that enables
you to deliver updates based on a wide range of
criteria—including the product version, machine
characteristics (e.g. operating system) or
producer-defined criteria such as the user’s
geographic location.
You can also integrate FlexNet Connect with
FlexNet Operations as well as Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship
Management (CRM) applications to check
maintenance entitlements prior to presenting
updates – reinforcing the value for end users to stay
current on maintenance.
Increase Customer Satisfaction, Gain Insight and Stay Connected to your Customers through
Electronic Software Updates, In-app Messaging and Detailed Reporting
Benefits to
Application Producers:
Operations/Supply Chain
• Reduce operational costs
associated with product
fulfillment by decreasing
packaging and shipping
costs with electronic
software updates
Customer Support
• Increase customer
satisfaction by ensuring
customers have your
most current product
release with the newest
features and bug fixes
Product Management/
Engineering
• Make more intelligent
product development and
business decisions based
on real-time data about
your user base and
streamline the release
management process
Marketing
• Increase revenue by
delivering marketing
messages directly to
customers and evaluators
as they use your software
or target customer groups
by delivering the right
message to the right
customer, based
on their software
version, location, or
entitlement status
Figure 1: Minimize Support Calls and Customer Downtime with Electronic Software Updates
Improve Customer Communication with
Targeted In-Product Messaging
For product marketers, being able to communicate
effectively with users is critical to growing
revenues and maintaining customer satisfaction.
FlexNet Connect makes it easy by delivering HTML
messages directly to any user’s desktop at their
most receptive moment—when they are actively
using or evaluating your products. It’s an ideal way
to communicate with your entire user base—even
those who purchased through resellers.
Targeting specific user groups is easy. FlexNet
Connect can send messages based on a wide
range of user characteristics, such as product
version, machine characteristics (e.g. operating
system) or producer-defined criteria such as a
user’s time zone, maintenance plan status, and
much more. It even tracks the open and response
rate of each message to measure its effectiveness.
Messages delivered through FlexNet Connect
historically have click-through rates that are 10
times higher than email, making it an effective
promotional tool to help you hit revenue targets.
Optimize Product Management with
Installed Base Analytics
How well do you know your customers? Do you
know what percentage of your installed base has
upgraded to your latest product version, or how
many are on each of your previous versions?
Do you know which features different users and
evaluators prefer, and which ones they rarely—if
ever—use? Do you know how many pirated copies
of your software exist? Are you able to debug
application issues on remote devices?
Having accurate, aggregate-level product data
enables product managers to make more intelligent
marketing and product development decisions.
With the ability to view relevant application log
files on remote devices they can also diagnose
customer issues allowing them to proactively debug
application issues.
“Our customers most
requested requirement was
that they be empowered
to control when software
updates are rolled out to
end users. By choosing the
FlexNet Connect solution,
we have the option and
flexibility of providing
our large customers with
this power to control the
update process, or we can
directly push out updates
to our customers.”
– Katherine O’Leary
Thomson Reuters Eikon
“FlexNet Connect offered
a simple, cost-effective
solution that greatly
reduced our incoming
support requests and
provided us with detailed
reports regarding
update success.”
– PsPortals

FlexNet Enterprise Update Management: Enable
enterprise IT administrators to control update
distribution to business units and locations
Large global enterprises may have IT policies
across various offices or regions that require
localized assessment of application updates prior
to their deployment. FlexNet Connect supports
these unique needs via a cloud-based enterprise
update management portal.
When you couple FlexNet Connect with FlexNet
Enterprise Update Management, IT administrators
can access a portal to assess and test updates
before accepting the update and applying it to
applications and machines in their specific business
unit or location. Enterprises can create business
units and assign administrators to them - enabling
decentralized administration of updates. For off-
internet machines, administrators can use a caching
proxy (e.g. Apache Squid) to download approved
updates once and distribute them behind the
firewall. From the portal, administrators can also
view update success reports to identify machines
that successfully (or failed to) apply a given update.
With FlexNet Enterprise Update Management, you
have the ability to:
• Define multiple business units with their own
IT administrators
• Approve or reject updates based on permissions
• Eliminate onboarding time and costs for new
locations using a hosted infrastructure
• Track update success with reports identifying
machines that have successful or failed updates

FlexNet Instrumentation Management: Collect anonymous
application data including application logs, crash reports and
similar data from end user machines to improve products
Application producers rarely have direct access to anonymized
data concerning how their customers are using their
applications, and the circumstances surrounding problems they
encounter. So, they are forced to rely on anecdotal means to
determine what is working within their products and what is not.
When you couple FlexNet Connect with FlexNet Instrumentation
Management, you have the ability to collect anonymous
application data including application logs, crash reports and
similar data from end user machines in order to help analyze
problems in the installed base and incorporate findings
into your development process to improve and enhance
your applications.
With FlexNet Instrumentation Management, you have the
ability to:
• Collect anonymous application data including application
logs, crash reports
• Analyze problems in the installed base and incorporate
findings into your development process
• Reduce support costs by proactively resolving product issues
• View and download log data within device viewer

FlexNet Connect Datasheet April 2014

  • 1. DATASHEET FlexNet Connect FlexNet Connect® provides application producers (software publishers and intelligent device manufacturers) the most efficient way to provide end-users with the latest software updates and to obtain valuable insight into their product use. FlexNet Connect manages rule-based software update delivery, displays in-product messages, and automatically reports key information about the installed base. In addition to application producers, many enterprises rely heavily on applications built by their own software developers to support their day- to-day business operations. Unfortunately, these critical homegrown applications are often the most difficult to manage, requiring frequent updates and patches to function properly. Keeping users on the latest version is vital to maintaining business productivity, but it can be a never-ending headache for IT – especially when users are located in multiple geographic locations and possibly disconnected from the corporate network. Application producers using FlexNet Connect’s in-app client can have full control over the update experience for end users. Updating complex applications supported on multiple platforms and languages and requiring complex multiple files per update can be cumbersome and error prone – FlexNet Connect streamlines the update authoring process even for such applications. FlexNet Connect is available as an On-Premises or as a Cloud, software-as-a-service deployment. Minimize Support Calls and Customer Downtime with Electronic Software Updates Delivering the right update to the right application, version and machine is critical to minimizing support calls and costs from users on outdated or unsupported application versions. FlexNet Connect has a sophisticated targeting system that enables you to deliver updates based on a wide range of criteria—including the product version, machine characteristics (e.g. operating system) or producer-defined criteria such as the user’s geographic location. You can also integrate FlexNet Connect with FlexNet Operations as well as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) applications to check maintenance entitlements prior to presenting updates – reinforcing the value for end users to stay current on maintenance. Increase Customer Satisfaction, Gain Insight and Stay Connected to your Customers through Electronic Software Updates, In-app Messaging and Detailed Reporting Benefits to Application Producers: Operations/Supply Chain • Reduce operational costs associated with product fulfillment by decreasing packaging and shipping costs with electronic software updates Customer Support • Increase customer satisfaction by ensuring customers have your most current product release with the newest features and bug fixes Product Management/ Engineering • Make more intelligent product development and business decisions based on real-time data about your user base and streamline the release management process Marketing • Increase revenue by delivering marketing messages directly to customers and evaluators as they use your software or target customer groups by delivering the right message to the right customer, based on their software version, location, or entitlement status Figure 1: Minimize Support Calls and Customer Downtime with Electronic Software Updates
  • 2. Improve Customer Communication with Targeted In-Product Messaging For product marketers, being able to communicate effectively with users is critical to growing revenues and maintaining customer satisfaction. FlexNet Connect makes it easy by delivering HTML messages directly to any user’s desktop at their most receptive moment—when they are actively using or evaluating your products. It’s an ideal way to communicate with your entire user base—even those who purchased through resellers. Targeting specific user groups is easy. FlexNet Connect can send messages based on a wide range of user characteristics, such as product version, machine characteristics (e.g. operating system) or producer-defined criteria such as a user’s time zone, maintenance plan status, and much more. It even tracks the open and response rate of each message to measure its effectiveness. Messages delivered through FlexNet Connect historically have click-through rates that are 10 times higher than email, making it an effective promotional tool to help you hit revenue targets. Optimize Product Management with Installed Base Analytics How well do you know your customers? Do you know what percentage of your installed base has upgraded to your latest product version, or how many are on each of your previous versions? Do you know which features different users and evaluators prefer, and which ones they rarely—if ever—use? Do you know how many pirated copies of your software exist? Are you able to debug application issues on remote devices? Having accurate, aggregate-level product data enables product managers to make more intelligent marketing and product development decisions. With the ability to view relevant application log files on remote devices they can also diagnose customer issues allowing them to proactively debug application issues. “Our customers most requested requirement was that they be empowered to control when software updates are rolled out to end users. By choosing the FlexNet Connect solution, we have the option and flexibility of providing our large customers with this power to control the update process, or we can directly push out updates to our customers.” – Katherine O’Leary Thomson Reuters Eikon “FlexNet Connect offered a simple, cost-effective solution that greatly reduced our incoming support requests and provided us with detailed reports regarding update success.” – PsPortals Figure 2: Improve Customer Communication with Targeted In-Product Messaging
  • 3. FlexNet Connect Supports Any Platform FlexNet Connect runs on Windows and Linux servers and can update any application running on Windows, OS X, Linux, ARM, or any embedded device platform using the porting kit. Be Up and Running in Minutes FlexNet Connect is extremely easy to implement, with a secure architecture that scales to hundreds of millions of end users. Hosting Options Run FlexNet Connect on your own servers or have Flexera Software host it for you as a service. FlexNet Connect Modules FlexNet Enterprise Update Management: Enable enterprise IT administrators to control update distribution to business units and locations Large global enterprises may have IT policies across various offices or regions that require localized assessment of application updates prior to their deployment. FlexNet Connect supports these unique needs via a cloud-based enterprise update management portal. When you couple FlexNet Connect with FlexNet Enterprise Update Management, IT administrators can access a portal to assess and test updates before accepting the update and applying it to applications and machines in their specific business unit or location. Enterprises can create business units and assign administrators to them - enabling decentralized administration of updates. For off- internet machines, administrators can use a caching proxy (e.g. Apache Squid) to download approved updates once and distribute them behind the firewall. From the portal, administrators can also view update success reports to identify machines that successfully (or failed to) apply a given update. With FlexNet Enterprise Update Management, you have the ability to: • Define multiple business units with their own IT administrators • Approve or reject updates based on permissions • Eliminate onboarding time and costs for new locations using a hosted infrastructure • Track update success with reports identifying machines that have successful or failed updates Figure 4: Enable Enterprise IT Administrators to Control Update Distribution Figure 3: Optimize Product Management with Installed Base Analytics

FNC_DS_Apr14 FlexNet Instrumentation Management: Collect anonymous application data including application logs, crash reports and similar data from end user machines to improve products Application producers rarely have direct access to anonymized data concerning how their customers are using their applications, and the circumstances surrounding problems they encounter. So, they are forced to rely on anecdotal means to determine what is working within their products and what is not. When you couple FlexNet Connect with FlexNet Instrumentation Management, you have the ability to collect anonymous application data including application logs, crash reports and similar data from end user machines in order to help analyze problems in the installed base and incorporate findings into your development process to improve and enhance your applications. With FlexNet Instrumentation Management, you have the ability to: • Collect anonymous application data including application logs, crash reports • Analyze problems in the installed base and incorporate findings into your development process • Reduce support costs by proactively resolving product issues • View and download log data within device viewer Increase Customer Satisfaction, Gain Insight and Stay Connected to your Customers through Electronic Software Updates, In-app Messaging and Detailed Reporting Next Steps: Visit www.flexerasoftware.com/fnc to view online demos, webinars and read whitepapers, or call 1-800-809-5659.
