Monitoring Server Enterprise Edition License Use

You can monitor license usage by displaying a license report in AppTrack. This shows, among other things, the:

• Number of licenses installed for Server Enterprise Edition, and how many of those licenses are in use
• Serial number and major identifying part of the license number of each license
• Duration and time remaining of each license
• Number of licenses in system state

  Licenses in the system state are standard Model 1 Application Server licenses that are in the first 30 seconds of usage by an application. The significance of this is that even if the application terminates immediately, its license is not freed until 30 seconds have passed since the license began being used. In the initial 30 seconds of usage by an application, the license is included in both the Sys column and the In Use column. After 30 seconds, the license is removed from the Sys column, but remains in the In Use column if the application is still running.

You can also use the MFLicenseCheck utility which gives a concise and detailed report on the installed development and deployment licenses.

Entries that show Developer Usage refer to Developer Testing Licenses, which are used when developing an application. You may not use them for running applications in production. For details see the chapter Developer Testing Licenses , if this is included in this book.

If you have Enterprise Server, you can also monitor your licenses using Enterprise Server License Manager, described in the chapter Running Enterprise Server License Manager.
