Checking System Licensing Information

Review licensing information to monitor available and used device licenses, license expiry dates, and other license details. This information allows administrators to manage license use and determine whether old or unused device licenses should be transferred to new devices.

Unwired Platform licensing is configured during installation. However, if necessary, license details can be changed at a later time. See Manually Updating and Upgrading License Files in System Administration.

  1. In the left navigation pane, select the top-level tree node.
  2. In the right administration pane, select the General tab, and click Licensing.
  3. Review the following licensing information:
    • Server license type – the type of license currently used by Unwired Platform. For more information on license types, see Platform Licenses in System Administration.
    • Production edition – the edition of the software you have installed.
    • Server license expiry date – the date and time at which the server license expires. When a server license expires, Unwired Server generates a license expired error and Unwired Server is stopped.
    • Overdraft mode – allows you to generate additional licenses in excess of the quantity of licenses you actually purchased. This enables you to exceed your purchased quantity of licenses in a peak usage period without impacting your operation. This mode is either enabled or disabled, as specified by the terms of the agreement presented when you obtain such a license.
    • Total device license count – the total number of device licenses available with your license. This count limits how many devices can connect to your servers. See System Administration for licensing information.
    • Used device license count – the total number of licenses currently attached to devices. If all of your available device licenses are in use, you can either upgrade your license or manually delete unused devices to make room for new users. For workflow and Online Data Proxy client devices, delete the Application Connections that are no longer in use. For Native replication applications, delete Package Users on the respective Package. For native messaging client applications, delete the Application Connections associated with the native messaging clients not in use. See System Administration for licensing information.
    • Device license expiry date – the date and time at which the device license expires. When a device license expires, Unwired Server generates a license expired error and connection requests from registered devices are unsuccessful.
    • Used mobile user license count – the number of mobile user licenses currently in use. Each such identity is registered with a specific security configuration. If a user is registered with two different security configurations, even though the user may be the same, it constitutes as two mobile users.
    • Used application user license count – the number of application user licenses currently in use. An application user may be registered as the user of one or more versions of a device (using same application ID) from one or more devices.
