Available Feature Licenses Configuration

Introduction​

Configure available-licenses.map to set the number of a feature's licenses. The configured available license will be visible in the License Monitor and historical reports.

Apply the configurations shown in the Open iT Core Server.

Configuring available-licenses.map​

  1. Open available-licenses.map in the Configuration directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration.

    Notice that it contains instructions on how to edit the file.

  2. Specify the feature and the number of licenses with the following syntax:

    Mapping Syntax
    MAP: <NumberOfLicenses>
    <Feature1\Version\Product2>
    <Feature2\Version\Product2>
    <Feature3\Version\Product2>

    The version and product name can be used to map features more specifically, but they are not required in the mapping configuration.

    Empty lines are allowed — any line beginning with # as the first non-whitespace character is considered a comment. Globbing is also supported, allowing you to use several globbing patterns; however, remember that they are slower than exact matches. To make your mapping files more effective and efficient, refer to the Optimizing Rules to Speed Up Rename or Mapping page.

    In the mapping file, entries are case-insensitive, meaning that capitalization variations, such as 'Feature' and 'feature', will be recognized as identical. Also, note that leading and trailing spaces are removed from entries.

    Example
    MAP: 25
    MATLAB\v10.8

    MAP: 20
    MATLAB\v10.0

    This example sets 25 as the available licenses for MATLAB version 10.8 and 20 for MATLAB version 10.0.

    You can also include custom configurations in this mapping file, such as default mapping, setting date limits on specific mapping entries, or creating nested maps.

  3. Save the changes.
