MathLM

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

Install OpenLM Broker on the MathLM server to query locally and forward the data to OpenLM Server.

Before you begin

• OpenLM Platform

• OpenLM Broker v25.x or higher installed on the same machine as MathLM, and approve it in Broker Hub.

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

2. Open Broker UI at http://localhost:5090/.

3. Go to License Managers → Add License Manager.

4. Configure Broker to monitor the MathLM license server on the same port defined in OpenLM Web Interface.
