View 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 Accruent Meridian Enterprise Server Administrator's Guide. If necessary, usage may be viewed in the Meridian 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:
- In Meridian Enterprise Administrator, select License Server in the left pane. Property page tabs appear in the right pane.
- Click the Users tab. The current quantity of each registered license type is shown in the Licenses list.
- Select a license type in the Licenses list. The names of users currently claiming that license type are shown in the right-hand list.
You cannot release claimed licenses or disconnect users from the Meridian application server in Meridian Enterprise Administrator.
You can also log Meridian license usage with the AutoManager Licenses counter in Windows Performance Monitor as described in Configuring the Windows Performance Monitor.
