Viewing licenses and usage

The server, client, and viewer licenses that are claimed by BlueCielo Explorer and BlueCielo Publisher can be viewed in the Meridian Enterprise Server Administration Console along with the licenses claimed by Meridian Enterprise modules and users.

Notes

• By default, the BlueCielo Explorer client licenses expire after 3 minutes of inactivity.
• The number of licenses that are listed in Meridian Enterprise Server Administration Console are retrieved from the Meridian Enterprise License Server during repository synchronization. If you register additional licenses with the Meridian Enterprise License Server, they will not be available to Meridian Enterprise Server until after the next vault synchronization has occurred.

To change the Meridian Enterprise license server where the licenses are retrieved from:

1. In Meridian Enterprise Server Administration Console, in the System Management group, click Settings. The Application Settings page appears.
2. In the menu, click LICENSES. The Licenses page appears.
3. In the LICENSE SERVER group, for the Server Name item, click CHANGE. The REGISTER LICENSING SERVER NAME dialog box appears.
4. Type the name of the computer where the Meridian Enterprise license server is hosted in Register License Server Name.
5. Click REGISTER. The new name appears in Server Name.
