LUM Concurrent Usage Activity

FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications provides support for integrating data from IBM’s Licensing Use Management (LUM) tool, which is used to monitor and track license usage. This enables your enterprise to use FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications to view LUM concurrent usage activity and to run reports based on LUM data. (Refer to the FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications 2020 R1 Reporting Guide for information on configuring FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications for use with LUM.)

To view concurrent usage activity for LUM licenses, you must add LUM license servers to FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications using the LUM Servers page.

The LUM Concurrent Usage page enables you to see how LUM-enabled licenses are being used in your enterprise. FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications makes an i4blt request to the LUM license servers and brings back the product license status, which includes the total count of licenses, the number of licenses that are in use, and the users who are using the licenses. The LUM Concurrent Usage page displays all of this data, along with the vendor, product name and version, and percentage of licenses used.

This information is refreshed according to the interval specified for the LUM Server Status Update setting.

Click the Users link to drill down to the LUM Concurrent Usage - Users page, which displays a list of the users who are using the licenses.
