Orcina Licence Monitor

The Orcina Licence Monitor (OLM) is a service that monitors the current number of OrcaFlex licences claimed on a network in real time. Other programs that use the OrcaFlex programming interface (OrcFxAPI) such as Distributed OrcaFlex and the OrcaFlex spreadsheet are also monitored. You can obtain information on each licence claim that includes:

• Network information: the computer name, network address and the user name.
• Licence information: the dongle name, the dongle type (network or local) and the time the licence was claimed.
• Program information: which modules are being used, the version, and the location of the program which has claimed the licence (usually this is OrcaFlex.exe but it can be Excel.exe for the OrcaFlex spreadsheet for example).

OLM requires OrcaFlex version 8.7a or later.
