Uploading Usage Data

FlexNet Operations 2018

Mainly for internal testing, producers can upload raw usage data to the Producer Portal. This option allows you to see how usage data captured by your usage-enabled FlexNet Embedded clients is rendered in usage history reports without waiting for the clients to report data over long periods.

To upload historical usage data, you must create a comma-separated value file in which each line follows the syntax shown below:

ISO 8601 date,count,feature name,activation code[,requestor ID,acquisition ID,key=value, ...]

Additional file content and format requirements appear on the Upload Historical Usage page.

To upload usage data

1. In the Producer Portal, click Usage > Upload Historical Usage. The Producer Portal opens the Upload Historical Usage page.
2. On the Upload Historical Usage page, use the browser controls to specify a CSV file on your system to upload. (The exact controls vary in different web browsers.)
3. Click Upload.

The Producer Portal uploads the usage data.
