Monitor licenses and alerts
Use the Dashboard to monitor your license activity. The Dashboard is the default view when you open the License Administration Console.
License status at a glance
The Dashboard presents a synopsis of your licenses:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Product | Product, edition, and type of license. |
| CSS Date | The Customer Success Services membership expiration date for the product license. |
| In Use (Available) | The number of licenses now in use, followed by the total number available for use. |
| Expiration | The date the license expires. |
| License Type | The type of license, such as concurrent user or system licenses. |
| Hosts | The Hosts link appears when licenses are checked out and links to a list of the host names with licenses in use. |
About alerts
Licensing events such as the License Server stopping or the expiration of a Citrix Customer Success Services membership trigger dashboard alerts. You configure alerts in the Administration area. The list of displayed alerts is updated when the Dashboard page is reloaded or refreshed.
Alerts about concurrent licenses are tested and triggered at one-minute intervals. The “Vendor Daemon Down” alert is triggered immediately.
There are two types of alerts:
Critical alerts
| Dashboard Alert | Administration Name | Triggering Event |
|---|---|---|
| The vendor daemon has stopped | Vendor daemon down | The License Server stops, unexpectedly or purposely stopped by the administrator. |
| The concurrent license has expired | Out of concurrent licenses | All the concurrent licenses have been checked out. |
| Licenses for product_name have expired | Concurrent license expired | The license has expired. If the license is not a type of license covered by Customer Success Services, there is no deleterious effect from being expired. For example, the startup license and evaluation licenses are always “expired” because they are not covered by Customer Success Services. You can ignore this alert unless it is for a license that shows an expired Customer Success Services date in the dashboard. |
| Customer Success Services membership expired | Customer Success Services membership expired | The Customer Success Services membership for a concurrent license has expired. |
Important alerts
| Name of Alert | Triggering Event |
|---|---|
| Concurrent threshold exceeded | A percentage (specified by the administrator) of concurrent licenses have been checked out. |
| Concurrent license expiring | Some days (specified by the administrator) remain before the concurrent license expires. |
| Customer Success Services membership expiring | Some days (specified by the administrator) remain before the Customer Success Services membership for a license expires. If the license is not a type of license covered by Customer Success Services, there is no deleterious effect from being expired. For example, the startup license and evaluation licenses are always “expired” because they are not covered by Customer Success Services. You can ignore this alert unless it is for a license that shows an expired Customer Success Services date in the dashboard. |
