Checking capacity licensing status

Any station running on a platform with global capacity licensing keeps a running tally on all corresponding resources in the Resource Manager view.

In Workbench, right-click the opened Station and select Views > > Resource Manager. Any station with global capacity licensing has specific entries in the lower “Resource Information” table.

As shown above, there are three “capacityLicensing.recount” statistics, including a timestamp for when the global capacity recount last ran.

Another group of “globalCapacity.resource” statuses show the current counts along with respective license limits (if any). The station view above reflects the first globalCapacity example given, namely:

<feature name="globalCapacity" expiration="2016-04-01" point.limit="1250"
device.limit="50" excludedDevices="ndio;nrio;niagaraDriver"
excludedPoints="ndio;nrio;niagaraDriver"/>

where global limits exist only on devices (Limit: 50) and proxy points (Limit: 1,250) with ndio, nrio and niagaraDriver devices and points being excluded from any limits.

Alternatively, if you are a super user, you can get this same information from the right-click spy page on a station, at the following location: Spy > > metrics.

Information in the spy page above matches the Resource Manager view example shown, with the exception of the “recountLastRun” timestamp shown (one hour later).
