version

Used exclusively in FlexNet Manager Suite to refer to the release number of an application.

Version numbering may take various forms, such as a numeric sequence (10.1, 10.2) with various levels in the hierarchy (by default, the system differentiates the first two levels); or a year number; or some other encoding like 2015r2. For this reason, the Version field is not numeric.

Note: 'Version' is sometimes used in everyday conversation to refer to the computer/operating system platform to which an application relates, as in "the Windows version" or "the UNIX version". This information should not be recorded in the Version field of license properties, because version numbers are used for managing automatic upgrade and downgrade paths. If required in the license properties, this information can be added to the Edition field or the Notes field.
