Follow these steps to configure OpenLM to monitor license usage and retrieve license statistics from QPS License Manager.

## Requirements

Before you query the license manager, install:

1. OpenLM SLM v2.x on your premises (or an OpenLM Cloud account)  
2. OpenLM Broker v24.11 or higher on the same machine as the QPS License Manager

## Monitoring capabilities

| LM Type in the Broker | Commands | Logs | Quantity | Expiration date | Denied | Borrowing | Allocations | Report resolution |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| QPS | 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.
