Question & Answer
Question
How do you check for the number of licenses that are available, information about who is using the licenses, when they expire, and if the licenses can be used for commuting licensing when you don't have access to the Product Access Management (PAM) License tool as it is located on a different machine?
Cause
This is information is needed because there is a need to monitor how the licenses are being used by the different users of the software.
Answer
In order to do this, you need to use the WlmAdmin.exe tool provided by SafeNet, which is included in the Dongle\SLM\Utils folder in the IBM i2 Analyst's Workstation CD / ISO.
- In the left-hand pane of the main WlmAdmin window, click the + sign to the left of a license server to see what licenses it is servicing. (Once you have expanded the license server information, you can click the - sign to collapse the information again.) If a license server does not have a + sign next to it, it does not currently have licenses installed.
- Click the name of a license. In the right-hand pane of the display you see information on the characteristics of the license. The exact information you see depends on the license.
- In addition to basic information, such as how many concurrent users can use the license, when it expires, what users currently are using the license, the display can include whether the license can be used for commuter licensing.
