What is FNPLicensingService64.exe?

The genuine file is a software component of FLEXnet Publisher by Flexera Software .
«FNPLicensingService64.exe» is the 64-bit version of the Windows service created by Flexera Software as a redistributable for software vendors employing FLEXnet Publisher TrustedStorage solutions to maintain license compliance. The default location to install this process is «C:\Program Files\Common Files\Macrovision Shared\FLEXnet Publisher\FNPLicensingService64.exe», which few vendors change. (This may cause compatibility issues if installing products from multiple vendors if some distribute older versions of the process.) To uninstall, look in the Control Panel’s «Uninstall» applet for «FlexNet Publisher.» This process runs invisibly in the background on a client (node) PC and coordinates with FlexNet server processes to manage floating (vs. «node-locked») licenses usable anywhere on the network. Flexera Software, headquartered in Chicago, IL, USA, formed as Acresso in 2008 when Rovi (then Macrovision) sold a division to private equity, became Flexera in 2009. Application publishers use its tools to construct installation packages and monitor licensing compliance.

FNPLicensingService64 stands for FlexNet Publisher Activation Licensing Service, 64-bit

FlexNet License Server Manager Download and Guide

The new FlexNet License Server Manager enables license administrators to manage the FlexNet Embedded local license server and its license distribution using a browser-based interface. This new administration tool replaces the previous License Server Manager, which was deprecated in the 2022.11 release.

This tool is provided as a separate package, called:

The package is a Docker container which holds the image:

Producers can download the FlexNet License Server Manager, along with the FlexNet Embedded Local License Server, from the Flexera/Revenera Product and License Center. Producers can then make the FlexNet License Server Manager available to their customers.

End users can download the latest version of FlexNet License Server Manager here:

  • Only the latest version of the FlexNet License Server Manager will be available for download. For prior versions, you must contact your software producer.
  • If you require any assistance with the FlexNet License Server Manager, you must contact your software producer. Revenera does not provide end user support for this utility.

SOFTWARE LICENSING SERVICE

Monetize SaaS, IoT, and on-premises software with FlexNet Licensing

Streamline operations with a powerful software licensing service that enables you to grow recurring revenue and monitor compliance.

FlexNet Licensing

Revenera’s advanced software licensing service supports the full range of monetization models, including: subscription, token, consumption, floating, device-based, node-locked, named-user, capacity, metered, pay-for-use, pay-for-overage, time-limited, and more.

It can operate as standalone infrastructure, as an SDK built into your application, or as a flexible web services framework, enabling diverse software licensing models across hybrid deployments – even in air-gapped, virtualized, and containerized environments.

Centralized licensing ensures a holistic view of end customer consumption across your entire product line, and allows you to offer flexible pricing and packaging options to meet specific customer needs.

Revenera has been a long-time partner to help us realize this vision by providing a variety of licensing models, remote connectivity options and allowing us to focus on technology innovation.

  • Accelerate time-to-market with ‘best of breed’ licensing technology
  • Easily adapt pricing and feature bundling to meet market demands
  • Access to a dedicated software licensing service and customer support team

FLEXNET LICENSING FEATURES

  • FlexNet Embedded
  • FlexNet Publisher (formerly FlexLM)
  • Cloud Monetization API
  • FlexNet ID Dongle

FlexNet Embedded

Benefit from Revenera’s flexible software licensing solutions with support for all platforms and monetization models. FlexNet Embedded is a small footprint SDK that works with software applications – on-premises, cloud, virtualized or mobile – as well as with embedded software on devices.

  • Implement all modern monetization models out-of-the-box for packaged, embedded and cloud software.
  • Provide in-product and volume license activation support.
  • Protect software with tamper-resistant application technology (code obfuscation and sophisticated identification of unauthorized use).
  • Broad platform support for a wide range of operating systems, including embedded and mobile.
  • Detect virtual machine cloning and manage compliance according to your policies.
  • Detect if your applications are running in Docker containers, and support concurrent and consumption-based licensing models in container environments.

FlexNet Publisher

FlexNet Publisher (formerly FlexLM) is the de facto standard in software licensing solutions, used by thousands of publishers to license and protect their applications. It supports a variety of software monetization models, captures usage, and offers advanced protection like tamper-resistance.

  • Manage all license models out-of-the-box, including pay-for-overage support.
  • Provide efficient in-product and volume license activation support.
  • Prevent unauthorized copying and piracy.
  • Support flexible machine fingerprinting.
  • Support a wide variety of platforms including all major operating systems and virtualization technologies.

Cloud Monetization API

The Cloud Monetization API provides access to FlexNet Embedded capabilities in use cases where an SDK is not the preferred implementation:

  • Small-footprint IoT devices that can’t accommodate an SDK and already use JSON/REST for other functions
  • Security requirements that restrict the use of third-party software on a device
  • SaaS implementations where the underlying hardware is trusted and on-device security is not required
  • Quick deployment implementations prior to migrating to FlexNet Embedded SDKs with trusted storage
  • Situations requiring control on cryptographic libraries for regulatory reasons, such as FIPS compliance.

For these implementations, the Cloud Monetization API provides a standard web services framework to connect your application to FlexNet Operations.

FlexNet ID Dongle

Today’s state-of-the-art software-based licensing is the choice for most suppliers, offering more flexibility than any hardware-based approach.

However, dongles are still a solution for some use cases, providing software protection by limiting or locking software access to your system.

The FlexNet ID dongle works in conjunction with FlexNet Licensing (FlexNet Embedded or FlexNet Publisher) to enhance security as a form of hostid.

The dongle is a serialized hardware key that attaches to a parallel or USB port and is automatically supported as a valid hostid by any FlexNet Licensing-enabled application.

Moving to a subscription model has accelerated our growth and opened up new markets for 2020. Changing to software keys and knowing we still had control of licenses allowed us to enhance our customer experience without risking revenue loss. Revenera provided the stable, secure foundation we needed to implement these improvements.
