OpenLM supports monitoring of the OSKA License Manager to provide reliable license reports and usage statistics. The OSKA license server generates a periodic XML file, which OpenLM parses to present usage data in OpenLM Web Interface.

## Before you begin

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

    The Broker queries the OSKA license server locally and sends data to the OpenLM Server.

*Configuring through the Broker UI*

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

1. Go to License Managers → Add License Manager.

1. If auto-detect fails, select the license manager node → select Add Port.

1. Add a port to the new license server:
    - Select on oska_server.
    - Select Add Port.
    - Enter the Port number provided by OSKA (for example, 12345).
    - From License Manager Type, select OpenLM Generic.
    - Select Apply → OK

1. In the Commands node:
    - Enter the full path to the OpenLMConsole.exe file.
    - Select Update → Apply.

1. For data_inquiry, enter the full path to the OSKA data inquiry command:

    ```bash
    C:\Program Files (x86)\OSKA\OpenLMConsole.exe
    ```

    Download `OpenLMConsole.exe` from the OSKA installation package if required.

1. Select Execute to test, then select Apply.

1. Repeat for the Status command.

1. Expand Vendors → Add Vendor. Enter OSKA.

1. Select Apply (select No if prompted to update commands).

1. Restart the Broker.

2. From the menu, go to **License Servers** → **Pending Server**.
3. Select the OSKA license manager, then select **Approve and Merge**.

## Verify the integration
