License Monitor

The License Monitor tool is accessed from the OpenSpirit Desktop by clicking on the License Monitor toolbar icon in the Administrator toolbar, or by choosing the Tools > Administrator > License Monitor menu item. 

The License Monitor tool connects to the OpenSpirit Flexlm license daemon when it is first displayed to retrieve the current license information. This can take from a few seconds to a few minutes depending on how many license features there are in your OpenSpirit license file and depending on how many users have licenses checked out. A progress window appears while the loading is underway.
 

License Monitor tab overview

The License Monitor tool provides a license feature-oriented view and a user-oriented view of your OpenSpirit license features. Both views provide the same information, just organized differently.

Feature View 

The License Monitor tool's Feature View is used to view license checkout information by feature name. The Feature View shows two tables of information. The top table lists all of the license features that exist in your OpenSpirit license file and, as shown below, the attributes of each feature.  Selecting a feature will display, in the bottom table, who has a feature checked out. 

User View 

The License Monitor tool's User View is used to view license checkout information by the user. The User View also displays two tables of information. The top table lists the users that have one or more OpenSpirit license features checked out and the bottom table displays the features checked out. As shown in the example below, the Administrator has a Runtime checked out.

License Path Component Selection 

The license daemon that is currently being monitored by the License Monitor tool is displayed above the Feature View and User View tabs. The License Monitor tool can only communicate with a single OpenSpirit Flexlm license daemon even though an OpenSpirit installation can be configured to use licenses from multiple license daemons. The first component in a multi-daemon configuration is selected by default. 

Use the License Path selector to select another license daemon to monitor, if you have a multi-daemon license path (this is the pull-down arrow at the end of the License Path field). 

NOTE: The license path shown at the top of the License Monitor tool is a configuration setting of your OpenSpirit master installation. The License Monitor tool displays the license path but cannot be used to modify the license path. The Install Config Manager tool is used to modify the OpenSpirit master installation's license path setting.
