Configuring Software License Management

Contrary to the application monitoring the software license management is configured in its own Configuration node. Here you can specifically configure a number of parameters to adapt certain aspects of its behavior to your requirements for all devices of your population.

1. Select an entry in the table to the right and click Application Management .
    The Properties window appears.
2. Select the Application Management > Software License Management > Configuration node.

3. Make the required changes to the available parameters:

   Parameter	Description
   Number of days before sending a license expiring alert	Defines the number days that may remain until the license expires to send an alert.
   License under installation percentage threshold to send an alert	Defines the percentage of uninstalled software licenses under which an alert is sent. This means that if the threshold is set at 50% and 51% of the licenses are installed no alert is sent. If only 50% or less of the available licenses are installed an alert is generated.
   Exceeded license usage percentage threshold to send an alert	Defines from which percentage value onwards of used licenses an alert is sent, that is, if the threshold is defined at 80% and 80% or more of the available licenses are used, an alert is sent. If only 79% of the licenses are used no alert is generated.

4. Click OK .

The modifications to the parameters are applied immediately and are from now on applicable to all existing software license units.

Modifying the licensed software evaluation schedule

Under the Configuration node you can also modify the schedule that manages the evaluation frequency of all defined licensed software units.

1. Select the Assigned Schedule tab.
2. Select the entry in the right window pane.
3. Click Properties .
    The Scheduler window appears.
4. Make the required modifications in the available options.
5. Click OK to confirm.

The new schedule takes effect immediately.
