DevOps Plan licensing requirements

Learn the prerequisites to enable DevOps Plan license metrics for concurrent users.

The DevOps Plan docker image will attempt to upload DevOps Plan license metrics for the concurrent user to the license service. For the upload to be successful, the chart requires IBM License Service on OpenShift. For more information on installing IBM License service see Installing License Service.

Once the IBM License Service is installed, you must copy the upload secret (ibm-licensing-upload-token) and configmap (ibm-licensing-upload-config) to the namespace/project that the DevOps Plan server will be installed in. Ensure that the current namespace/project is the one that DevOps Plan will be installed into before running the following commands.
oc get secret ibm-licensing-upload-token -n ibm-licensing -o yaml | sed 's/^.*namespace: ibm-licensing.*$//' | oc create -f -
oc get configMap ibm-licensing-upload-config -n ibm-licensing -o yaml | sed 's/^.*namespace: ibm-licensing.*$//' | oc create -f -
You must set global.licenseMetric to true during the helm install/upgrade.
--set global.licenseMetric=true 

After the DevOps Plan server has started, concurrent user license metrics will be reported to the IBM license service. This may take up to 24 hours. To retrieve license usage data, see To retrieve license usage data, see Retrieving license usage data per cluster from License Service.
