EM: BBjServices > Licensing

Description

When double clicked, the Licensing panel opens on the right pane. The panel displays detailed license information retrieved from the BASIS License Server (BLS) that BBjServices is communicating with. It shows installed license features, versions, count, current usage, and feature details. Users can adjust the Refresh Rate to control how frequently the license data updates and can click BLS Machine Info to view information about the license server, which may differ from the BBjServices host. Checkout activity can also be filtered using user, IP address, or connection-based criteria.

BASIS License Services (BLS)

The BASIS License Services lists each licensed feature, its version, total available license count, licenses in use, expiration status, and associated provider details. The serial number shown at the top uniquely identifies the connected BLS instance. The Auto-Refresh control sets how frequently the license data refreshes. Selecting Manual disables automatic updates until the page is manually refreshed. The BLS Machine Info button reveals server-specific license host information, distinct from the BBjServices host if configured separately.

Refresh Rate	Use this dropdown control to select the rate at which the Enterprise Manager should refresh the license checkout information shown in this tab. Select Manual to freeze the display until the Refresh button is clicked. Selecting one of the other values (sec stands for seconds) causes the Enterprise Manager to automatically refresh the display after that approximate time interval.
BLS Machine Info	Provides system-level details about the BASIS License Server (BLS) supplying license features to BBjServices. When clicked, the button opens a dialog showing the BLS host’s name, IP address, operating system, architecture, and data model, which may differ from the BBjServices machine configuration.
Export	When you click the Export button License Information tab displaying all current license checkouts in Comma-Separated Values (CSV) format. This action captures a complete snapshot of active checkouts, independent of filter selections, including details such as serial number, feature, user, IP address, and session attributes. Setting Description Search Field Highlights all case-insensitive matches of the entered text within the displayed CSV license data. If Matches Only is checked, the view is filtered to display only rows that contain the specified text, leaving the field empty results in no highlighting or filtering. Regular Expression Note: The Regular Expression option is removed from the License Information tab in BBj 25.03. Matches Only When unchecked, the full CSV content remains visible, and any rows containing the search term are highlighted without hiding non-matching entries. When checked, the display is filtered to show only rows that match the entered search term in the Search Field, hiding all non-matching entries.
License	The name of the installed license feature.
Version	The version of the license feature.
Count	The maximum number of concurrent checkouts permitted for the license feature.
In Use	The current number of checkouts for the license feature.

Features / Vendor String	Any additional information provided by the feature vendor to document or explain the license and its usage.

Checkout Details

The Checkout Details section provides detailed information about license checkouts for the selected feature in the Licensing table. When active checkouts exist, each row lists the connection source and port, user name, In Use value, IP address, Per Connection setting, and Console status. When no checkouts are active, the table contains no entries. Filters above the table enable narrowing results by user name, IP address, and Per Connection setting before applying the filter.

Checkout Details List

Setting	Description
User	When unchecked, the User filter is disabled and any text entered in the corresponding field is ignored. When checked, the filter activates, and only checkout records matching the specified user name are displayed in the Checkout Details table.
IP Address	When unchecked, the IP address filter is disabled and any value entered in the associated input field is ignored. When checked, the filter activates and narrows the Checkout Details table to entries matching the specified IP address.
Per Connection	When unchecked, the dropdown selection is disabled and the Checkout Details table ignores the Per Connection license setting when filtering results. When checked, the filter activates and restricts the results to entries where the Per Connection value matches the selected option (Yes or No). Yes When Yes is selected in the Per Connection dropdown, the Checkout Details table displays only checkouts that allocate a separate license for each individual connection. No When No is selected in the Per Connection dropdown, the Checkout Details table displays only checkouts that share a single license across multiple connections from the same user or source.
Apply	Clicking the Apply button filters the Checkout Details table based on values entered in the User, IP Address, or Per Connection fields, displaying only matching records. To remove a specific filter, uncheck its corresponding box and click Apply again.
Clear	Clicking the Clear button removes all active filters from the User, IP Address, and Per Connection fields, causing the Checkout Details table to refresh and show all current license checkout records without restriction.

Column	Description
Connection Source / User	The name of the user who checked out the license feature.
In Use	The number of checkouts for the user and license feature.
IP Address	The IP address of the user who checked out the license feature.
Per Connection	Identifies whether multiple checkouts have been combined into a single license usage. A value of Yes confirms that collapsing has occurred, multiple sessions are sharing one license. A value of No indicates that each session is using a separate license, and no collapsing has taken place.
Console	The console ID that was provided when the license feature was checked out. This is a designated value used solely to permit or deny license collapsing.
