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 Server (Windows, Linux, or Docker) installed anywhere on the network
• OpenLM Broker installed on the same machine as the Licman server

Check the OpenLM system requirements before installation.
