> **OpenLM Version 25 / v26 (legacy).** This page documents the legacy product, not OpenLM Platform.

## Scope

OpenLM is a [license management and monitoring system](https://www.openlm.com/software-license-management/) for a wide variety of network license types, such as [Flexera FLEXnet Publisher](https://openlm.com/documentation/legacy/what-is/flexera-flexlm-flexnet-publisher) (FLEXlm) and Sentinel RMS.  

**EasyCopy** provides graphic solutions for engineering, geoscience, and life sciences.  
OpenLM is an [EasyCopy business partner](https://www.openlm.com/knowledge-base/openlm-is-an-easycopy-business-partner/).  

This article explains how to configure OpenLM to monitor the **EasyCopy License Manager** and generate license usage reports. This capability is available for EasyCopy version **8.7.12 and later**.

## Prerequisites

To monitor EasyCopy license usage:

- Install **OpenLM Broker** on the EasyCopy license server machine.  
- Install **OpenLM Server** on any Windows machine in the network (can be the same machine).  

The Broker queries the EasyCopy license server locally and forwards the data to the OpenLM Server.

## Configure OpenLM to interface with EasyCopy

### OpenLM Server configuration

1. Download and install OpenLM Server.  
2. In EasyAdmin, go to **Administration → License Manager Servers → Add LM → Type**.  

3. Enter a description (for example, *My EasyCopy license server*).  
4. From the **Type** drop-down, select **OpenLM Generic**.  
5. Set the **Time Zone** of the license server.  
6. Enter the EasyCopy server name in the **Hostname** field (for example, *easycopy_server*).  
7. **Port**: EasyCopy does not use a specific port. Enter any three-digit number.  
   - Use the same number in the Broker configuration.  
8. **Use Broker**: select this checkbox.  
   - When checked, usage information is gathered by the Broker installed on the server.  
9. **Allow Server fall back to denied license**: activate this if you want the system to disregard denials when the user successfully obtains a license from another EasyCopy server.  

10. Switch to the **Custom fields** tab and fill in details such as **Country**, **Usage Scope**, and **Description**.  

11. Select **Save**.  

### OpenLM Broker configuration

1. [Download and install the latest OpenLM Broker](https://openlm.com/documentation/legacy/openlm-broker).  
2. Enter the OpenLM Server hostname (for example, *my_openLM_server*).  
3. Make sure the OpenLM Server port (default **5015**) is open for inbound communication.  
4. Add a new port and set its type to **OpenLM Generic**.  
5. Enter the same license server name and port number you used in OpenLM Server (for example, *easycopy_server*, *123*).  

6. In the **status** and **data_inquiry** command fields, enter the full path to the EasyCopy executable:  

   ```bash
   eclic.exe openlm
    ```

7.	Select Apply and then Restart Broker.
## Alternative: Manual Broker web UI configuration

	1.	Install the latest OpenLM Broker.
	2.	Open the Broker Web UI at http://localhost:5090/.
	3.	Go to the License Managers tab.
	4.	Select Add License Manager. From the LM type list, select OpenLM Generic. Enter the port (for example, 123) and select Add.
  5.	In the Commands tab, enter the path to eclic.exe openlm. Select Execute to verify output.
  6.	In the Vendors tab, select Add Vendor and enter EasyCopy.
	7.	Select Save.
