License Management Facility has four components:
- The License Administration Services - This is mainly for managing the licenses. The License Administration Services enables you to install and uninstall licenses, and to check which licenses are present by browsing the license database.
- The License Manager - This responds to license requests from the License Manager clients and issues license units. It also keeps an audit trail.
- The License Manager client - This is found in each licensed product or component. The License Manager client requests the License Manager to issue license units.
- The license database - This holds all the license keys available on the system. There is one license database on each system, which is created and updated by the License Administration Services. The License Manager reads the license database to update its in-memory copy of available licenses.
The License Management Facility runs at your site on every machine that runs a Micro Focus licensed product. For example, the setup on one machine might be as in the following illustration.
