BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise 2017 System Requirements

Viewing current license usage

At times, it can be helpful to know how many users are currently connected to a Meridian Enterprise system:

• When preparing to perform vault or server maintenance
• If performance problems occur
• To forecast future growth needs

The default method to view license usage is in the Meridian Enterprise Server Administration console as described in the BlueCieloMeridian Enterprise Server Administrator's Guide. If necessary, usage may be viewed in the BlueCieloMeridian Enterprise Administrator program run on the Meridian application server. The License Server branch in Meridian Enterprise Administrator is hidden by default. To reveal it, set the NodesMask registry value as described in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\AMAdmin.

To view the current license usage:

1. In Meridian Enterprise Administrator, select License Server in the left pane. Property page tabs appear in the right pane.
2. Click the Users tab. The current quantity of each registered license type is shown in the Licenses list.
3. Select a license type in the Licenses list. The names of users currently claiming that license type are shown in the right-hand list.

Note    You cannot release claimed licenses or disconnect users from the Meridian application server in Meridian Enterprise Administrator.

Tip    You can also log Meridian license usage with the AutoManager Licenses counter in Windows Performance Monitor as described in Configuring the Windows Performance Monitor.
