The vendor enables Pay Per Use by editing the USAGE_DATABASE entry (disabled by default) in the license server configuration file. The configuration file contains a description and examples for using the USAGE_DATABASE setting.
You can edit the USAGE_LEVEL setting in the configuration file to specify whether to generate a STANDARD report that does not include user information, or a DETAILED report that includes the username, hostname and ipaddress for each checkout and checkin request. The USAGE_LEVEL setting is set to STANDARD in the configuration file by default.
The usage database can be verified and printed to screen using the lmxendutil -readusagedb command. (See LM-X End-user utility for information about using this command.) This command reads the database, performs a verification, and prints the usage table content to the screen. You can review the content to ensure its validity by verifying the id ranges; however, never attempt to manipulate the database.
