Reprise RLM

To monitor Reprise License Manager (RLM) usage in OpenLM Platform, configure OpenLM Broker to interface with RLM. You can then monitor license usage and get license statistics.

Before you begin​

Confirm these prerequisites:

  • An OpenLM Platform account
  • OpenLM Broker v25.x or higher, installed on the same machine as Reprise RLM and approved in Broker Hub.

What you can monitor​

What you can monitor depends on how you query the RLM license server.

Through OpenLM Server only, you can monitor the following:

  • License totals
  • License usage data

Through OpenLM Broker, you can monitor everything listed earlier, plus the following:

  • Buffered communication to handle network failures
  • Remote start and stop of the license manager service
  • License denial information
  • 1-second resolution for usage reports
  • Read RLM license and log files
  • View RLM license file content in OpenLM Platform Web Interface

You can configure Reprise RLM in the Broker UI by detecting it automatically or by adding it manually. If detection fails, add it manually.

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