The OpenLM Alerts Enables license managers to define alert conditions and act when these conditions are met

The OpenLM Alerts extension is designed to assure the stability of the organizations licensing system. It enables License managers to define alert conditions, and act when these conditions are met.

The system can handle complex conditions over multiple license servers and features. Alert conditions may be added on the alert form. AND / OR logic may be applied between these conditions.
