ABSTRACT:
A technique for determining the number of users or client computers which transact with a server program during a given period of time. The technique is used to ensure that more users or client computers are not transacting with the server program than operative program licenses allow. The technique is embodied in a license management routine that reads and parses data entries in the server program's audit log to determine the number of users or client computers transacting with the server program over a time period. Client-server computing environments that record transactions in an audit log can employ this technique to monitor server program usage and to ensure that the appropriate number of client program licenses are obtained.
