Chapter 2  The Reactis License Monitor

The Reactis License Monitor allows users and administrators to connect to a Reactis License Manager and view information about currently occupied licenses. If the License Manager is configured to allow it (see Section 1.3), the License Monitor also permits administrators to forcibly disconnect users in order to free up licenses.

The Reactis License Monitor can be installed alongside the Reactis License Manager or on any computer to monitor a remote license manager. To install the Reactis License Monitor only, run the Reactis License Manager setup executable (see Section 1.1) and de-select the License Manager component during install.

2.1  The License Monitor Window

The License Monitor window, shown in Figure 2.1, enables you to query license information from specified license managers running on local or remote servers. The first section displays the MAC addresses of the machine on which the License Monitor is running.

The second section of the window displays a list of servers running the Reactis License Manager. The lowest portion of the pane displays a list of users currently using licenses for the License Manager/product currently selected.
