Silk Meter enables you to meter and control the usage of applications through the following components:
-
Usage Control Server: A process that grants access and meters activity based on details that are provided by the application license policy and
the state of the system. The
Usage Control Server can be customized by producers and is called
ls_producername. The
Usage Control Server for the
Micro Focus producer is embedded in the
Usage Control Manager.
-
Usage Control Manager: A server process that manages and distributes multiple usage control servers for different producers. It contains the
Usage Control Server for the
Micro Focus producer and controls the policies and metering data. It is called
smSystem.exe.
- Policy Administrator: A tool that presents an overview of all usage control servers, installed policies, currently connected users, metering data,
and statistics. The
Policy Administrator enables you to create, edit, or remove user grants, to check-in or check-out mobile licenses, and to add or remove policies.
