    Remote Monitoring allows verifying the license server configuration manually.

    If you would like to verify the configuration, click Verify at the bottom of the Remote Monitoring tab. (This step is not necessary; the configuration will automatically be verified when you save the license server, as described in the next step.)

    Verification may take a long time depending on the license manager’s response time, and the status will show that the server is being verified. The verification results will include the status (success or failure), the reason for the failure if verification failed, and the query tool output.
    The output should look similar to the following.
