| Asset | A content item that you manage using SAP Commerce, for example, supported business objects. |
| Freeway | The name of the Lionbridge translation portal for submitting content to and retrieving content from the Lionbridge translation provider. |
| FTP Server | File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer files from one host to another host over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet. Translation providers may receive and send files for translation using an FTP server. |
| Keys | The Connector uses keys to establish a secure, discrete connection between the Connector instance and the Platform. Very important: Do not copy the CMS address keys to multiple instances, because this is a violation of the License Agreement. Using the same CMS address keys on multiple instances will cause the Lionbridge App or Connector to behave unexpectedly, which can result in lost translation content, orphaned projects, and inaccurate translation status reports. The Lionbridge Connector team will support technical issues caused by duplicating or incorrectly installing CMS address keys only on a time and materials basis. |
