This integration allows OpenLM to monitor Lloyd’s Register Licence Manager (LiMBR) for license usage, denials, borrowed licenses, and expiration dates.

## Requirements

1. OpenLM Server v21.x or higher installed on a machine in your organization or on a Cloud account.
2. OpenLM Broker v21.x or higher installed on the same machine as LiMBR.

## Monitoring capabilities and features

| Feature | Resolution | License totals | License usage | Denials reporting | Borrowed license reporting | Expiration date reporting | Multiple server redundancy |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Support | Start time: by second, end time: by minute | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ❌ |

Additionally, using OpenLM Broker allows for buffered communication and the ability to remotely start or stop the LiMBR service.

## OpenLM Broker configuration

OpenLM Broker queries LiMBR locally through its command-line utility, compiles the results, and sends the data to OpenLM Server.

:::note
OpenLM Broker must already be [installed](https://www.openlm.com/application-notes-v3-0/installing-openlm-v3-0/broker-comprehensive-installation-guide-an4004b/) and [configured](https://www.openlm.com/Knowledgebase%20and%20articles/openlm-broker-configuration/) to report to OpenLM Server before proceeding.
