Measures reported by SIOSDKLicenseTest
To track and control every server involved in mirroring, the SIOS DataKeeper requires a unique license for each server. If valid licenses are not available, then the servers will go unmanaged by the SIOS DataKeeper, thus increasing the risk of losing the synchronization among the servers. Likewise, if the license is not renewed in time, administrators will not be able to maintain the data integrity if any server goes down. To avoid this, administrators can use the SIOSDKLicenseTest Test.
This test auto-discovers the the licenses installed with the SIOS DataKeeper, and for each license determines when the license is likely to expire.
Outputs of the test : One set of results for each license on the SIOS DataKeeper being monitored.
Descriptor of the test : License ID

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 the server to continue. If the Show Expired License parameter is set to Yes, this test will display Expired against this measure to denote the expired licenses (if any). If the license comes with life time validity, then this test will display Permanent against this measure.
