The process of interfacing the FlexLM license manager is elaborated in this article. As such, OpenLM is capable of monitoring IBM Rational license consumption and provide usage reports on the EasyAdmin web application. The IBM Rational licenses are managed by the FlexLM license manager. When the application is closed, the tokens are returned to the pool for other end users to use. The number of consumed tokens is specific to each feature, and is apparent in the feature/Increment line in the license file. When a feature is checked-out, a predefined amount of tokens is consumed. Token licenses are a form of floating license, only that instead of having a pool of licenses they have a pool of tokens.
