License Management Report
You can monitor the list of software options purchased with a license and the number of times a license exceeds usage limits. The License Management Report displays the general properties, CPU and repository usage, user details, hardware and node configuration details, and the options purchased for each license.
You can save the License Management Report as a PDF on your local machine. You can also email a PDF version of the report to someone.
Run the License Management Report to monitor the following license usage information:
- •Licensing details. Shows general properties for every license assigned in the domain.
- •CPU usage. Shows the number of logical CPUs used to run application services in the domain. The License Management Report counts logical CPUs instead of physical CPUs for license enforcement. If the number of logical CPUs exceeds the number of authorized CPUs, then the License Management Report shows that the domain exceeded the CPU limit.
- •Repository usage.
- •User information. Shows information about users in the domain.
- •Hardware configuration. Shows details about the machines used in the domain.
- •Node configuration. Shows details about each node in the domain.
- •Licensed options. Shows a list of Informatica options for each license.
Licensing Properties
The Licensing section of the License Management Report shows information about each license in the domain.
The following table describes the licensing information in the License Management Report:
Property | Description |
|---|
Name | Name of the license. |
Version | Version of Informatica platform. |
Expiration Date | Date when the license expires. |
Serial Number | Serial number of the license. The serial number identifies the customer or project. The original and incremental keys for a license have the same serial number. |
Deployment Level | Level of deployment. Values are Development and Production. |
Operating System / BitMode | Operating system and bitmode for the license. Indicates whether the license is installed on a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system. |
CPU | Maximum number of authorized logical CPUs. |
AT Named Users | Maximum number of users who are assigned the License Access for Informatica Analyst privilege. |
Product Bitmode | Bitmode of the server binaries that are installed. Values are 32-bit or 64-bit. |
CPU Summary
The CPU Summary section of the License Management Report shows the maximum number of logical CPUs used to run application services in the domain. Use the CPU summary information to determine if the CPU usage exceeded the license limits. If the number of logical CPUs is greater than the total number of CPUs authorized by the license, the License Management Report indicates that the CPU limit is exceeded.
The License Management Report determines the number of logical CPUs based on the number of processors, cores, and threads. Use the following formula to calculate the number of logical CPUs:
N*C*T, where
N is the number of processors.
C is the number of cores in each processor.
T is the number of threads in each core.
For example, a machine contains 4 processors. Each processor has 2 cores. The machine contains 8 (4*2) physical cores. Hyperthreading is enabled, where each core contains 3 threads. The number of logical CPUs is 24 (4*2*3).
Note: Although the License Management Report includes threads in the calculation of logical CPUs, Informatica license compliance is based on the number of physical cores, not threads. To be compliant, the number of physical cores must be less than or equal to the maximum number of licensed CPUs. If the License Management Report shows that you have exceeded the license limit but the number of physical cores is less than or equal to the maximum number of licensed CPUs, you can ignore the message. If you have a concern about license compliance, contact your Informatica account manager.

Configuring a Unicode Font for the Report
Before you can save a License Management Report that contains multibyte characters or non-English characters, configure the Service Manager to use a Unicode font when generating the PDF file.
1. Install a Unicode font on the master gateway node.
2. Use a text editor to create a file named AcUtil.properties.
3. Add the following properties to the file:
PDF.Font.Default=Unicode_font_name
PDF.Font.MultibyteList=Unicode_font_name
Unicode_font_name is the name of the Unicode font installed on the master gateway node.
You might also need to add the following property if the font file is not available in the locale:
Unicode_font_name_path=Unicode_font_file_location
For example:
PDF.Font.Default=Arial Unicode MS
PDF.Font.MultibyteList=Arial Unicode MS
Arial Unicode MS_path=/usr/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType
4. Save the AcUtil.properties file to the following location:
InformaticaInstallationDir\services\AdministratorConsole\administrator
5. Use a text editor to open the licenseUtility.css file in the following location:
InformaticaInstallationDir\services\AdministratorConsole\administrator\css
6. Append the Unicode font name to the value of each font-family property.
For example:
font-family: Arial Unicode MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
7. Restart Informatica services on each node in the domain.
