To determine the number of licenses you need to
purchase for the next release of a product that is not in the keyed set, you
can use the Work with License Information (WRKLICINF) command.
The usage limit of a licensed-enabled packaged product must be set greater than or equal to the peak number of licensed users for the product.
You can track license information over a period of time to determine if the peak occurs at certain times or under certain conditions. It might be possible to reduce the peak usage by changing product usage during these peak times. The WRKLICINF command displays the current usage count and the peak usage for each product. To track peak usage, reset the peak usage on a regular basis by using option 10 (Reset peak usage) on the WRKLICINF command display.
For more detailed information on usage, you can turn logging on for a particular licensed-enabled packaged product. To turn logging on, specify LOG(*YES) on the Change License Information (CHGLICINF) command. Whenever the usage limit is exceeded, this usage information is logged to journal QLZALOG. The log information contains the usage limit, current usage, and the list of license users at the time the usage limit is exceeded. To view the log, use the Display Journal (DSPJRN) command. Specify L for the journal code and LU for the entry type. Model output files for this journal entry type are QALZALU and QALZALU4 in library QSYS.
