Measures reported by XMLicenseTest

To track and control every device/user connecting to the corporate network, XenMobile should ideally possess a license per user/device. If adequate licenses are not available, then new users and devices will go unmanaged by XenMobile, thus increasing the risk of unauthorized accesses. Likewise, if the license is not renewed in time, administrators will not be able to use the services of XenMobile continuously, which will again expose the corporate network to malicious attacks. To avoid this, administrators can use the XMLicenseTest test.

This test tracks the license usage of XenMobile and also determines when the license of each type is likely to expire. In the process, it reports the following:

  • Is the XenMobile server running out of licenses? If so, administrators can quickly arrange to purchase additional licenses to deal with the additional user/device load on their network.

  • Is the license up for renewal? If so, administrators can work towards extending the license so that XenMobile continues to manage devices/users.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
usedLicense Indicates the number of licenses of this product category that are currently in use. Number  
totLicense Indicates the total number of licenses of this product category that are held by XenMobile. Number  
percentUsed Indicates the percentage of licenses of this product category that are utilized. Percent A value close to 100% indicates that the XenMobile server is rapidly running out of licenses. In this case, to ensure the uninterrupted usage of XenMobile, you will have to purchase additional licenses.
validUpto Indicates the number of days by which the license of this product category will expire. Days A very low value for this measure indicates that the license is nearing expiry. You may have to request for a license extension if you want to continue using the XenMobile server.
gracePeriod Indicates the number of days after which the trial license for this product category will expire. Days This measure will appear only if XenMobile is running on a trial license.
