The OpenLM Broker v25.2 release introduces improvements in usability, proxy support, and license manager integrations. This update makes Broker more user-friendly, secure, and efficient in handling license monitoring.
Proxy Support for OpenLM Cloud
Previously, users had issues connecting OpenLM Broker to the US Cloud through a proxy server:
- Added proxy configuration in the Broker for easier setup.
- Improved the Web UI by allowing users to save, remove, and modify proxy settings.
- Ensured password encryption when storing proxy credentials.
Improved UI for Commands Tab
Commands buttons in the Broker WebUI, such as Status, Data Inquiry, and Start, were not clearly identifiable as clickable elements:
- Redesigned buttons to make them visually distinct and easier to recognize.
- Adjusted toggle selection behavior to prevent accidental deactivation.
Expanded License Manager Support
Broker v25.2 now supports additional license managers, extending its compatibility:
- LexFloatServer
- Creo
- Phase2Phase
Tasking LM Denial Type Support
Some denials in Tasking LM were not captured, particularly those with the message: “No free seat for floating license key”:
- Added support for this denial type to ensure complete tracking.
- Integrated Tasking LM’s event log, which logs denials as “Denied”.
Improved Polarion License Reporting
Users configuring Siemens Polarion in OpenLM Broker noticed discrepancies in license counts and naming inconsistencies:
- Standardized feature names to remove inconsistencies.
- Separated concurrent and named licenses for clearer reporting.
- Improved detection of assigned named licenses in logs.
Zetaware License Limit Fix
Previously, OpenLM Broker incorrectly reported total licenses as “unlimited” for Zetaware features:
- Corrected the license count calculation to reflect actual limits.
- Ensured active and available licenses are properly displayed.
