Moldex3D

This guide explains how to monitor the Moldex3D License Manager with OpenLM to obtain license usage and statistics.

Before you begin

Install the following:

• OpenLM Platform
• OpenLM Broker v25.x or higher installed on the same machine as Moldex3D, and approve it in Broker Hub.

Monitoring capabilities

The following table shows the monitoring capabilities available through OpenLM Broker:

Report resolution	License totals	License usage	Denials	Borrowed licenses	Expiration dates	Redundancy
By second	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	No

Using Broker also allows:

• Buffered communication with OpenLM Server

• Remote start/stop of the license manager service

Configure OpenLM Broker

Broker queries Moldex3D License Manager locally using the MDX3DLMUtil utility. Data is then sent to OpenLM Server for processing.

note

Ensure Broker is installed and configured to report to OpenLM Server before proceeding.

Option 1 — Detect automatically

1. In Broker, click Detect.

   If the Moldex3D service (for example, Moldex3D-LM Service) is running, Broker detects and configures it automatically.

2. After configuration, select Restart Broker.

3. Also run data_inquiry → Execute to confirm valid output.

Option 2 — Add manually

1. Install the latest Broker.

2. Open http://localhost:5090/.

3. Go to License Managers.

   • If the Moldex3D service is running, click Detect.
   • If autodetect fails, click Add License Manager. From Type, select Moldex3D. Enter the port and click Add.

   In Commands, set the path to MDX3DLMUtil.exe. Click Execute to confirm.

4. In Vendors, click Add Vendor, enter Moldex3D, and click Continue.

   Click Save.

Approve Moldex3D in OpenLM Platform

1. Sign in to OpenLM Platform.
2. From the menu, go to License Servers → Pending Server.
3. Select the Moldex3D license manager, then select Approve and Merge.

Verify the integration

1. In OpenLM Platform, go to License Servers Live → Server Statistics.
2. Confirm Moldex3D appears with a green status indicator.

note

It can take up to 3 minutes for the status to update for a new connection.
