Features

This option enables you to manage features and feature-related data found in the server and in the database.

The tracked features are shown on this page. You can delete features being monitored and view the status of existing features. There are two options: Server and Database features.

Feature Administration (database)

A feature in Monitor is obtained from a license server that is being monitored or a debug log that has been parsed. This page provides an interface to administrative functions for managing features and feature-related data found in the server and in the database.

The Feature Administration Server page shows features that are checked out and their current status.These features have a start and an end time.

To delete a feature and all of its data from the database, use the delete button. For a feature to not reappear in the database, it must first be removed from its license file, as well as the server memory.

Rename Feature

Use the drop down menus to rename any features as necessary. If renaming to an existing feature, data will be updated to reflect that feature. Features can not be moved between tags, so all renaming will be contained in the same tag.

Assign Feature Alias

This section enables you to create an alias for a license feature. This is useful to establish user-friendly names for complex or lengthy feature names found in the license file.

Assign Feature Cost

Assign each named license feature an hourly, per-token cost value. This can be displayed in the the Checkout Statistics report if the Cost filter is selected. The cost can be specified here, or via the ftlm_feature_admin utility, which also provides the ability to delete and rename features.
