Configuring Applications to Use License Metering

Once you have installed NLS and have a License container and Metered Certificate created for an application, you need to configure the Application object to use NLS and license metering. This enables Application Launcher/Explorer to enforce the licensing you've established for the application.

To enable Application Launcher/Explorer to enforce an application's licensing:

  1. In ConsoleOne, right-click the Application object > click Properties.

  2. Click the Run Options tab > License/Metering.


    License/Metering page

  3. Check the Use Novell Licensing and Metering for this Application box to turn on the option.

  4. In the Associate Application Object with License Container field, click the Browse button and select the application's License container.

  5. If you don't want Application Launcher/Explorer to run the application when NLS is not available, check the Do Not Run if NLS Is Not Available box. Otherwise, Application Launcher/Explorer will run the application.

  6. Click OK.
