OSKA

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.

Requirements

1. OpenLM Platform

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

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

   

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

4. Go to License Managers -> Add License Manager.

5. If auto-detect fails, select the license manager node -> click Add Port.

6. Add a port to the new license server:

   • Click on oska_server.
   • Click Add Port.
   • Enter the Port number provided by OSKA (e.g. 12345).
   • From License Manager Type, select OpenLM Generic.
   • Click Apply -> OK

7. In the Commands node:

   • Enter the full path to the OpenLMConsole.exe file.
   • Click Update -> Apply.

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

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

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

9. Click Execute to test, then click Apply.

10. Repeat for the Status command.

11. Expand Vendors -> Add Vendor. Enter OSKA.

12. Click Apply (select No if prompted to update commands).
