Finding the maximum number of activations for a license

Floating Licenses
#1

Hi!

I’m setting up a floating license for a customer, and they don’t know the number of activations they will need. I was thinking of setting the number of simultaneous activations to 0 (unlimited), and then billing by the maximum simultaneous number of activation for the license. However, is this possible to find out?

Thanks in advance,
Patrik

Hi Patrik,

Thank you for reaching out!

To achieve this, you can make use of the Meter Attributes.

You can name the meter attribute and set the Allowed Uses value to -1 (unlimited) and increment the count of that meter attribute by 1 each time ActivateLicense() is called.

At the end of the month, you’ll be able to view the maximum number of activations for that license. Additionally, you can call Reset() at the end of the month to reset the counter.

Additionally, you can track the lifetime usage of the meter attribute using the Gross Uses property…
