FlexNet Operations 2018
Producers who want to offer trial registrations in the End-User Portal can use the TrialRegistration template to create a landing page for the free trial software users.
The TrialRegistration template uses the AngularJS framework along with standard custom content functionality to render a list of trial products from which end users can select and form fields for them to enter an email address (required) as well as additional contact information.
Tip • See About Trial Products to learn how to configure the products you want to make available for free trials.
Trial Registration Process
Upon successful submission of the trial registration form, FlexNet Operations generates a new organization account and a new user account for the trial user (based on the email address provided). FlexNet Operations also creates an entitlement for that user to the trial product the end-user selected. The End-User Portal sends an email based on the Welcome Email for End Users template to the new trial user, giving that user access to their trial entitlement on the End-User Portal.
Tip • Producers can create a variation of the Welcome Email for End Users template to use specifically for trial registrations. This variation name is then used in the trial registration custom content. In the custom content for your Trial Registration page, locate the hidden input, emailTemplate, and replace default value {{formData.emailTemplate}} with the Welcome Email for End Users email template’s variation name.
Sending End Users to a Trial Registration Page
With a custom content Trial Registration page, and all trial registration elements in place, producers can send trial users to their trial registration page using a URL based on their End-User Portal location domain plus the Permalink path for the trial registration custom content page. For example, if your End-User Portal is hosted at mycompany.flexnetoperations.com/flexnet/operationsportal and the content ID for your trial registration page is TrialReg, the URL for your trial registration page would be
https://mycompany.flexnetoperations.com/flexnet/operationsportal/showTrialRegisterUserPage.do?contentId=TrialReg
Showing a Custom Registration-Success Page (Optional)
When an end user successfully registers, the End-User Portal shows a simple registration-success page. However, a producer can create a custom registration-success page to show to end-users who complete the trial registration form. To do so, a producer first creates a standalone custom content page to serve as the custom registration-success page. The content ID of this new standalone page can then be used as the value for the hidden landingContentId input on the Trial Registration page.
