Follow these steps to configure OpenLM to monitor license usage and retrieve license statistics from LexFloat Server.

## Requirements

Before you query the license manager, install:

1. OpenLM SLM on your premises (or an OpenLM Cloud account)
2. OpenLM Broker v25.2 or higher on the same machine as the LexFloat Server license manager

## Monitoring capabilities

| LM Type in the Broker | Commands | Logs | Quantity | Expiration date | Denied | Borrowing | Allocations | Report resolution |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| LexFloat Server | No | Yes | No | No | No | No | No | Seconds |

Using the Broker also allows buffered communication and allows remote start and stop of the license manager service.

## OpenLM Broker configuration

   If the default port is in use, try `5091` or `5092`.
2. Go to **License Managers** → **Add License Manager**.
3. From the **LM Type** drop-down list, select **LexFloat Server**.
4. Enter the port number (for example, `889`) and click **Add**.
