License Monitoring: available licenses

The "License Monitoring" page displays all existing licenses and their allocation ordered by licensors and related licenses.

Next to describing information on Product Code, Name, and Feature Map, the column License Quantity shows the respective total number of available licenses..

Shared and Available Licenses

In addition, an expandable area structures the licenses according to access modes (User Limit (Borrowed), No User Limit, Exclusive, Shared) and shows available licenses.

Description

User Limit

Here each started instance allocates a single license. It does not make a difference if the CmContainer was found locally, or on a network.

In brackets the number of borrowed licenses display, if existent.

Station Share

Here multiple instances can be started on a single PC but allocate only a single license.

You use this setting, for example, when you want to provide the end-user with the option of starting the application several times. On a terminal server each session allocates a license. In virtual machines each machine allocates a license.

StationShare avoids unnecessary duplication of license allocation by ensuring that license accesses - locally or over a network - and the defined allocation sequence do not overlap.

For example, if a license access (handle) made via network (LAN) with StationShare will be detected, then no new license will be assigned locally despite the defined allocation sequence (first locally, then via network, i.e. LOCAL_LAN tag).

In addition, if a license is already accessed locally, no new license access (handle) will be made via the network, if the local access could also be made via StationShare.

Exclusive

Here a protected application can be started only once on a PC.

No User Limit

Here any number of instances of the protected application can be started locally or in a network, and no additional licenses are allocated. Allocated licenses in this mode can be re-used.
