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

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 **EasyAdmin**.  

## Prerequisites

Monitoring OSKA requires:

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

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

## Configuration

### Configure OpenLM Broker

1. [Download and install the latest Broker](https://www.openlm.com/downloads/).  
2. If auto-detect fails, select the license manager node → select **Add Port**.  
3. 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**.  
4. In the **Commands** node:  
   - Enter the full path to the `OpenLMConsole.exe` file.  
   - Select **Update → Apply**.  
5. For **data_inquiry**, enter the full path to the OSKA data inquiry command:  

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

   ```

   You can download it from: OpenLMConsole.exe
