Monitoring license-related messages

Overview

The product STC writes warning messages to notify you when licenses are about to expire. We strongly recommend that you monitor these messages with the help of a monitoring tool or an automatic operator.

Messages to be monitored

The following warning messages are written to the JESMSGLG during the warning or goodwill period (normally 30 days) each day at midnight (or another hour if specified via the LST parameter Bnn_LICX_CHECK_TIME=hh):

9001W product LICENSE WILL EXPIRE IN n DAYS ...

9001W product LICENSE WILL EXPIRE ON yyyy-mm-dd ...

9003W addon LICENSE WILL EXPIRE IN n DAYS ...

The following error message should also be monitored, which is written when the STC is unable to start a particular addon:

9002E addon NOT ACTIVE - ADDON LICENSE HAS EXPIRED ...

When one of these messages occurs, please contact your Beta Systems sales representative or Beta Systems order desk (OrderDesk@betasystems.com) for a new license file. You can then activate the new license during a planned restart of the product or dynamically with the help of the BSA Service Manager option 2.4 (see "Updating license information" in BSA Service Manager Manual).

Other informational messages

Additionally, you can also monitor the STC log for these informational messages if you want to be informed about license expiration dates before the warning or goodwill period:

9001I Bnn LICENSE WILL EXPIRE ON yyyy-mm-dd

9002I addon LICENSE WILL EXPIRE ON yyyy-mm-dd
