Follow these steps to configure OpenLM to monitor license usage and retrieve license statistics from Materialise Magics.

## Before you begin

Before you query the license manager, install:

- OpenLM Platform
- OpenLM Broker v25.x or higher installed on the same machine as Materialise Magics, and approve it in [Broker Hub](https://openlm.com/documentation/cloud/data-collection/broker-hub).

## Monitoring capabilities

| LM Type in the Broker | Commands | Logs | Quantity | Expiration date | Denied | Borrowing | Allocations | Report resolution |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Materialise Magics | Yes | No | Yes | Yes | No | No | No | Seconds |

Using the Broker also allows buffered communication and allows remote start and stop of the license manager service.
