License tracking

HPE Service Manager tracks floating and named licenses on the application level for reporting purposes.

The logon process determines which applications are authorized for each user, allocates a floating or named license for the duration of the session, and records usage information in the stathistory file. When the user logs out or ends the session, Service Manager deallocates the license. Because Service Manager tracks the highest daily license usage for each application, administrators can use this information to determine how many licenses are being used and when peak usage times occur. They can enable or disable user license tracking at any time.

The license tracking feature tracks the named and floating licenses on an application basis. Service Manager refreshes the license usage information whenever the user logs out, or the session terminates by inactivity or administrator action.

The following applications monitor licenses:
