LM-X

OpenLM supports monitoring for a wide and growing variety of license managers. This guide describes how to configure OpenLM to interface with LM-X, monitor license usage, and obtain license statistics.

Install OpenLM Broker on the LM-X server to query locally and forward the data to OpenLM Server.

The OpenLM Broker is optional but recommended. Installed on the LM-X host, it queries usage locally and forwards it to OpenLM Server. Broker ensures buffered communication in case of network outages or security restrictions.

In addition, Broker can query LM-X for license request denials, providing valuable insight into license efficiency.
