GEOVIA
This guide describes how to configure OpenLM with GEOVIA License Manager to monitor license usage and collect statistics.
Before you begin
- OpenLM Platform
- OpenLM Broker v25.x or higher installed on the same machine as GEOVIA, and approve it in Broker Hub.
Monitoring capabilities
Monitoring capabilities available through OpenLM Broker are shown in the following table:
| Report resolution | License totals | License usage | Denials reporting | Borrowed license reporting | Expiration date reporting | Multiple server redundancy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| By second | Yes* | Yes | Yes | No | Yes | No |
- License totals are reported according to the "max" concurrent license limit for all versions. Individual version limits are not counted. Classes are not currently supported.

Diagram of how OpenLM interfaces with GEOVIA License Manager
Broker queries license usage through the NetworkLicenceManager tool and the ssilm.log file. This data is sent to OpenLM Server for processing.
Make sure OpenLM Broker is already installed and configured before continuing.
