# Setting the Number of Available Licenses of Features

# Introduction

Configure available-licenses.map to set the number of licenses of features. The configured available license will be visible in both the License Monitor and historical reports.

# 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:

    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-white character is considered a comment. Globbing is also supported.

    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.

  3. Save the changes.

  1. Open available-licenses.map in the etc directory, which is by default in /var/opt/openit/etc.

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

  2. Specify the feature and the number of licenses with the following 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-white character is considered a comment. Globbing is also supported.

    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.

  3. Save the changes.
