Monitoring clients and license information

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

Procedure

  1. Select the license servers you want to monitor:
    1. Double-click the Subnet Servers on the left hand-side pane of theWlmAdmin window.
    2. Consult the Feature Information section and tab for licensing details, such as:
      • the number of seats available for the current network license
      • the number of clients currently using the available license seats
      • the number of seats currently borrowed by clients who use a license offline
    3. To update the license feature status, right-click the feature and select Refresh.
  2. Monitor the clients:
    1. Select a server and expand a product feature node.
    2. Double-click the Clients folder to open it. WlmAdmin shows all the clients that are currently using the license seats for that feature.
    3. Select one of the users in the list to open the Client Info tab on the lower side of the WlmAdmin window.
    4. The Client Info tab shows information such as:
      • the time when the client connected to the server
      • the number of seats that the client is using
      • the name of the client computer and name of the user
      • whether the client is a commuter, using a borrowed a license
    5. To update the client status, right-click the Clients folder, and select Refresh.
  3. Monitor the license information:
    1. For details about the network license available for the selected server, expand a product feature and the Licenses folder then select a license from the list.
    2. WlmAdmin displays all the licensing information available for the server in the License Info tab, on the lower side of the right hand-side panel. Consult the information in the License Info tab:
      • the start date and the end date of the selected license
      • the active and inactive licenses for the selected server
      • the maximum number of concurrent users that can access the network license
    3. To update the licensing status, right-click the Licenses folder, and select Refresh.
  4. Disconnect users in network. If you are a network administrator and you want to withdraw licenses from specific users, contact them offline and ask them to disconnect from the server.
