The Licenses in Use dialog box opens and displays license information in the following areas:
| Area | Shows; | Additional information |
|---|---|---|
| Licenses in use | The server where a license is in use, the license pool, the product a license is for, the user who is using a license, when the user first connected using a license, and the license type. | Server names that include ::1 or 127 indicate the Helix ALM product server is running on the same computer as the license server. |
| Reserved floating licenses | The number of floating licenses currently reserved. Provides details about the license pool, the product the license is for, the user a license is reserved for, and the remaining number of minutes before a license will be available for other users to use. | When a Helix ALM user logs in, a floating license is reserved for that user for 30 minutes, even if they log out during the 30-minute period. If the user logs out and then logs in again during the 30-minute period, they will still be able to use the floating license. These rules do not apply to Surround SCM. |
| Available floating licenses | The available licenses that users can use. Provides details about the license pool, the product a license is for, and the number of licenses available. |
