Monitoring Licenses in SmartConsole

To keep track of license issues, you can use these options:

• License Status view - To see and export license information for Software Blades on each specific Security Management Server, gateway, or Log Server object.
• License Status report - To see, filter and export license status information for all configured Security Management Server, gateway, or Log Server objects.
• License Inventory report - To see, filter and export license information for Software Blades on all configured Security Management Server, gateway, or Log Server objects.
