Enable Usage Metering

The Reflection Metering Server allows administrators to track Reflection sessions and determine how many client workstations use the product. Metering can also be used to limit the number of concurrent users that can access a host at any given time.

Use this procedure to enable metering after the product is installed.

To enable metering via group policy

  1. Install the Reflection administrative template file (http://download2.attachmate.com/fileinfo.asp?filename=ReflectionPolicy.zip).

  2. Run the Windows Group Policy editor (gpedit.msc) by opening Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Classic Administrative Templates (ADM) > Reflection Settings > Client Metering.

  3. Under Configure Client Metering, check the Enabled radio button.

  4. In the Metering URL box, enter the URL of your metering server.

    Syntax:

    http://[host name]:[port number]/[metering server context name]/meter.do

    For example:

    http://Myserver.com:80/mssmeter/meter.do

    NOTE:If you use the default port, you can omit the colon and port number.

  5. Select Require metering only if you want to prevent users from launching Reflection when the metering server is not available. (Enabling this setting can be useful when you are creating a trial installation and want to test to see if the metering server is running and available.)
