Issue
The FlexNet Publisher (FNP) is a web interface hosted on the server for configuring licensing components for various Schneider software products ranges. For example EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert and
EcoStruxure Power SCADA Operation. The URL to access this is https://localhost:8090 and the service is called "lmadminSchneider".
The default user name and password for FlexNet Publisher (FNP) is admin/admin.
Occasionally for security purposes a customer will change the password to something else. This means the default admin/admin combination will no longer work.
Environment

Cause
The default password has been changed (admin is the default password).
