The License Monitor, the web interface of the VS License Manager, can be accessed via a web browser: <License Server Address>:<HTTP_PORT>. It displays license information, feature availability and usage, and connected clients. The License Monitor is automatically refreshed every 60 seconds to keep it up to date.

With the configured Admin password it is possible to access an extended version of the License Monitor with the latest log messages, the configuration settings and a section to visualize the checkout history in charts. These tabs do not reload automatically.

If required, access to the basic License Monitor can be completely restricted by setting a main password.

Checkout History

The VS License Manager stores data locally about how many features are used over time and by which users. In addition to a real-time view of feature usage for the current day, there are preconfigured charts for hourly usage for the last 24 hours, daily usage for the last 30 days, monthly usage for the last 12 months, and daily denied users for the last 30 days. It is also possible to create custom charts for individual time periods.

Usage data is stored in the installation directory under /data/History/. The data is stored in CSV format and can be easily used for further analysis. The columns are time (seconds since 01.01.1970), count, feature, username and errorcode.
