ZENworks® for Desktops (ZfD) Application Management integrates with Novell® Licensing Services (NLS) to enable you to track an application's usage and comply with the application's license agreement. When a user launches an application that has been configured as part of NLS, Novell Application LauncherTM/Explorer checks to make sure that a license is available before running the application.
To set up software metering, complete the tasks in the following sections:
Create a separate License container and one or more Metered Certificates for each application you want to track. For instructions, see the NLS documentation at the Novell Documentation Web site.
Configure the Application object in NDS® to use NLS and software metering. You won't be able to complete this step until after you've created an Application object for the application. For details about creating an Application object, see Distributing Applications . For details about configuring the Application object to use software metering, see Metering Software Licenses .
