Administrator's Guide

Monitoring Licenses

An administrator can monitor license compliance by:

Auditing licenses

Use the AUDIT LICENSES command compare the current configuration with the current licenses.

Note:

During a license audit, the server calculates, by node, the amount of backup, archive, and space management storage in use. This calculation can take a great deal of CPU time and can stall other server activity. Use the NOAUDITSTORAGE option to specify that storage is not to be calculated as part of a license audit.

Displaying license information

Use the QUERY LICENSE command to display details of your current licenses and determine licensing compliance.

Scheduling automatic license audits

Use the SET LICENSEAUDITPERIOD command to specify the number of days between automatic audits.
