Page History

The information on this page refers to License Statistics 4v6.17 or 9 and newer, which added support for OLicense server realtime monitoring, and the ability to assign or edit server aliases and merge license server data in the Edit License Server dialog in the Realtime License Servers grid. Previously it was possible to manage server aliases and merge license server data from the License Servers page and in the Dashboard. If you are running an older version of License StatisticsAgent Groups to Realtime License Server settings for Autodesk license manager; added an Action toggle to enable/disable license servers; and removed "copy URL to clipboard" from the Action column. If you are using a version previous to v6.9, see documentation for previous versions.

Check this box to enable monitoring for the license server. When this box is not checked, monitoring for the license server is disabled. The license server will appear in License Statistics pages as "Down."

Only enabled license servers are counted in the number of license servers you can monitor according to your License Statistics license agreement. You can add any number of disabled license servers. If you have reached your limit of license servers you can monitor, you can disable any license servers that you do not need to monitor and enable the license servers you do need to monitor.

The type of license manager you are using for the license server. This selection list includes all supported license managers. 

If you select Custom as the license manager type, you must specify the path to your custom XML file (see Supporting a custom license server for information on adding a custom license server) in the Hostname field under Connection settings.

The path to the license manager's query tool defaults to license_statistics_installation_directory/query_tool_default_name, where the query tool default name is specific to the license manager being used, as follows:

Edit the path if needed, and make sure the query tool is in the specified path. 

Important: The query tool executable (and the path provided in the License Statistics UI) must be local. If you edit the path, ensure that the query tool executable is located on the same machine as the License Statistics installation.  

Query Tool Path is not applicable when using the Custom, JetBrains, License4J, and oXygen license manager types.

Redundant

Check this box to specify that redundant servers are being used (for example, in LM-X you would check Redundant if you are using HAL). When Redundant is checked, you must enter the hostname and port number for all three servers.

The Redundant setting is applicable only for LM-X, FlexNet, BetaLM, Dassault, IBM LUM and GNS license manager types.

Applicable only for FlexNet and RLM license manager types.  

FlexNet license servers are configured with case-sensitive names by default, so make sure the vendor name uses the correct case when configuring a FlexNet license server. An error in the vendor name may cause problems with License Statistics usage monitoring. See "Failure to find licenses for FlexNet license server" in FLEXlm and FlexNet license server issues for more information.

The license server hostname. This entry cannot contain spaces or special characters, except underscores, hyphens and periods.

The license server port number, which may have a default setting depending on the license manager selected, as follows.

Port is not applicable when using the IBM LUM, LICMAN, Sentinel RMS, MathLM, and Custom license manager types.

Redundant

Check this box to specify that redundant servers are being used (for example, in LM-X you would check Redundant if you are using HAL). When Redundant is checked, you must enter the hostname and port number for all three servers.

Applicable only for FlexNet, RLM, and OLicense license manager types.  

FlexNet license servers are configured with case-sensitive names by default, so make sure the vendor name uses the correct case when configuring a FlexNet license server. An error in the vendor name may cause problems with License Statistics usage monitoring. See "Failure to find licenses for FlexNet license server" in FLEXlm and FlexNet license server issues for more information.

Changes the encoding used by License Statistics when analyzing data from a license server.

By default, this is set to UTF-8. For a list of supported encodings, see:
