AUDIT LICENSES (Audit server storage usage)

Use this command to audit the server storage used by client nodes and to audit the server licenses. The audit determines whether the current configuration is in compliance with the license terms.

An audit creates a background process you can cancel with the CANCEL PROCESS command. If you halt and restart the server, an audit is run automatically as specified by the SET LICENSEAUDITPERIOD. To view audit results, use the QUERY LICENSE command.

Attention: The audit of server storage can take a lot of CPU time. You can use the AUDITSTORAGE server option to specify that storage is not to be audited.

To issue this command, you must have system privilege.
