On the left sidebar there is a License Manager button.

Click on the ‘License Manager’ button to open up another browser window to display the following selection tabs.

  1. License Manager
  2. License Types
  3. Vendor License Alias
  4. Usernames

All tables can be refreshed using the Refresh Tables button.

All table columns can be sorted using the sorting arrows found at the table headers.

Charting and Reporting can be run from the Charts and Reports section of the GeoSystems Monitor.

Prior to these screens, License manager points need to be set up.

License Manager

List of license managers, port, and vendor associated.  These correspond the points entered earlier.

Web page:  When set to yes and a web page path is entered, a web page is created and updated each

time the point is run(default is 5 min).  To change, highlight the particular line and click the edit button.

The web page path can be on the local GeoSystems Monitor server, either under IIS or a UNC path to another server.

a. Ex. 1. C:\inetpub\wwwroot     or         C:\inetpub\wwwroot\LicenseManager

b. Ex. 2. \\RemoteServer\RemoteServerShare

i. When entering a UNC path, make sure the GeoMonEngine service can write to that location.

The default web pages are: 

     Esri – arcgislicense.html  

     ACAD – acadlicense.html  

     FME – fmelicense.html

     Other – otherlicense.html

The web page header can be modified using the following files, located in the ‘scripts’ folder.

licenseTemplate.html - The top of this can be changed for individual Client information if needed.

logo.gif - A Client logo can be put in place of this file to display in the Web page.

Example of an ESRI license page:

http://GeoSystemsMonitorServerName/arcgislicense.html

License Types

If you want to be notified when a particular license or license extension is running out or low, select the Vendor : Manager from the drop down menu.  Highlight the particular line and click the edit button.  Select warning Yes/No and the Number of licenses left when a notification is sent.

This page also displays if a warning/notification has been sent and is colored orange.

Vendor License Alias

This is to associate an alias name to any license or extension by vendor.  The license names on this page are directly from the license manager, and can be cryptic.

To change, select the Vendor from the drop down menu, highlight the particular line and click the edit button.  Change the Alias and Description as needed.  These will then update the License Types page the next time the point runs, and will be used the charts and reports.

Usernames

This is a display only screen for a quick look when a user LAST USED any licenses from a particular license manager.
