Licman
OpenLM can interface with Licman to monitor license usage and obtain statistics. The Licman server is queried locally by OpenLM Broker, which sends the data to OpenLM Server for monitoring and reporting.
Requirements
- OpenLM Platform
- OpenLM Broker v25.x or higher installed on the same machine as Licman, and approve it in Broker Hub.
Monitoring capabilities
| LM Type in the Broker | Commands | Logs | Quantity | Expiration date | Denied | Borrowing | Allocations | Report resolution |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Licman | Yes | No | Yes | Yes | No | No | No | Seconds |
Using the Broker also allows buffered communication and allows remote start and stop of the license manager service.
