Overview

The License Monitor is a tool in the CSI Customer Center, providing a live snapshot of your account's CSI License Usage. The gauges at the top of the page show a summary of the licenses in use versus the total number of licenses. The tables below provide detail which licenses are in use and by which user. The License Monitor can be found in the CSI Customer Center under Cloud Licensing Tools > License Monitor.

Required Permissions

To view the License Monitor in the CSI Customer Center, a user must be assigned a role with the “Cloud License Monitor” permission selected. This permission is enabled by default on all template roles.

Terminating User Sessions

A Customer Account Administrator, and users with the given permission, can remotely terminate a license on a user’s machine through the CSI Customer Center from the Cloud Licensing Tools > License Monitor menu. Once terminated, the software will close on the user’s machine.

A user can terminate their own session if necessary, through the same menu option in the CSI Customer Center. The permission to terminate someone else session can be given through a User Role in the User Management Dashboard, which can be assigned to a user by their Customer Account Administrator in the CSI Customer Center. Checked-out licenses cannot be remotely terminated.

To terminate another users session, the user must be assigned a role that has the Terminate Sessions permission enabled.
