Tip

To begin monitoring license servers after a new installation, add the license server(s) to be monitored as instructed in Adding and editing license servers


Tip
  • Make sure you have all the utility executables required by the license servers you will be monitoring, as described in License server dependent requirements.
  • Ensure the utility version corresponds with the license server version. If you don't know which version to use, please contact your vendor.
  • Make sure that 3rd party utilities are always stored outside of the License Statistics installation directory so they will not be removed by the installer upon subsequent installations.
