Monitoring clients and license information

As a network-licensing administrator, you can use the SafeNet License Manager (WlmAdmin.exe) to monitor your product licenses and the clients who are using the license seats.

Select the license manager server

About this task

To select the license servers that you want to monitor, double-click on the Subnet Servers on the left hand-side pane of WlmAdmin. This displays the hostnames of all the license servers available on the network.

If you have an active network license for the server, WlmAdmin lists all the product features included in your license.

The Feature Information section and tab show licensing details for the selected feature, such as:

  • number of seats available for the current network license
  • number of clients currently using the available license seats
  • number of seats currently borrowed by clients who use a license offline

To update the license feature status, right-click on the feature and click Refresh.
