Applied Flow Technology (AFT) eLicense
#
Introduction
Open iT supports AFT eLicense usage reporting through the generic license type format. This will produce the following aggregated data types used for historical and real-time reporting:
- (49) Host User License Use
- (93) OLAP Raw Hourly
- (94) OLAP User Concurrency
- (95) Usergroup License Use v3.0
- (102) OLAP Total Use
#
Requirements
- An Open iT Client connected to an Open iT Server or a coexistent Open iT setup
- Activated LicenseAnalyzer collection and license poller
- eLicense activation code - a unique 32-character hexadecimal code identifying an eLicense
Verify that the code is correct via the eLicense Web Portal
Apply the configurations shown in the Open iT client.

Configuring Data Collection
These are the required steps to configure collection of usage data.
Go to the Components directory, which is by default in
C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration\Components
, and back up thelicpoll.xml
configuration file.Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.
Go to the bin directory, which is by default in
C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin
, run the command:Command Syntaxcd $BIN_DIR
Examplecd C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin
Once in the directory, copy the object node
genericlicense-sample
, run the command:Command Syntaxopenit_confinit -c "licpoll.license-types.genericlicense-sample=>licpoll.license-types.aft"
Activate the collection of usage data, run the command:
Command Syntaxopenit_confinit -c "licpoll.license-types.aft.active=true"
Set the arguments to the status command, run the command:
Command Syntaxopenit_confinit -c "licpoll.license-types.aft.status-command.arguments=AFT <eLicense Code>"
where
<eLicense Code>
is the eLicense activation code.Exampleopenit_confinit -c "licpoll.license-types.aft.status-command.arguments=AFT 95461525C41C5D417D556E66F5E55D25"
Update the configuration file, run the command:
Command Syntaxopenit_confbuilder --client

Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.
Go to the bin directory, which is by default in
C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin
, run the command:Command Syntaxcd $BIN_DIR
Examplecd C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin
Run the command:
Command Syntaxopenit_licpoll -# 1
