OSKA

OpenLM supports monitoring of the OSKA License Manager to provide reliable license reports and usage statistics. The OSKA license server generates a periodic XML file, which OpenLM parses to present usage data in OpenLM Web Interface.

Before you begin

• OpenLM Platform

• OpenLM Broker v25.x or higher installed on the same machine as OSKA, and approve it in Broker Hub.

  The Broker queries the OSKA license server locally and sends data to the OpenLM Server.

  Configuring through the Broker UI

1. Open Broker UI at http://localhost:5090/.

2. Go to License Managers → Add License Manager.

3. If auto-detect fails, select the license manager node → select Add Port.

4. Add a port to the new license server:

   • Select on oska_server.
   • Select Add Port.
   • Enter the Port number provided by OSKA (for example, 12345).
   • From License Manager Type, select OpenLM Generic.
   • Select Apply → OK

5. In the Commands node:

   • Enter the full path to the OpenLMConsole.exe file.
   • Select Update → Apply.

6. For data_inquiry, enter the full path to the OSKA data inquiry command:

   C:\Program Files (x86)\OSKA\OpenLMConsole.exe

   Download OpenLMConsole.exe from the OSKA installation package if required.

7. Select Execute to test, then select Apply.

8. Repeat for the Status command.

9. Expand Vendors → Add Vendor. Enter OSKA.

10. Select Apply (select No if prompted to update commands).

11. Restart the Broker.
