Configuring License Pools and Server Settings

A license pool comprises the licenses for a given product name, type, and VPA number.

After you install the Metering Server and configure metered sessions, the first time a client requests a license from a pool, it is automatically added to the metering server list of License Pools.

  1. Open the Metering Administration tool, if it is not already open, and log in.

    When you ran your metered product, the Product, Product type, and VPA number were specified, and appear here as static text, along with the number and type of licenses and the type of enforcement, if any.

  2. Click Configure if you wish to change the Server Settings, including your password, logs, and email notifications. Open Help for details.

  3. To change a product’s metering settings, click that product link, and edit the License Pool settings. Click Help for details.

  4. Click Submit. Repeat these steps for each Micro Focus product you want to meter. These settings appear in the License Pool Settings list. Click the product name in the list to edit these settings later.
