Monitoring LAN Zoo Licenses Remotely

Product: Zoo
Summary: Discusses how to track LAN Zoo-managed licenses from a web browser.

Question

Is there a way to actively track license use in real time from a device other than the server? We would like the ability to let users see who is currently using a license, allowing self-regulation of our licenses. Many of our other applications show a web page or provide a separate viewer application that can display the current use.

Answer

The LAN Zoo lets users track license use from the convenience of their web browser. Just visit the status page provided by your LAN Zoo server by entering:

http://<zoo_server_host_name>/status

into your favorite web browser. For example, if your LAN Zoo server's host name is zooserver.mycorp.com, then you'd enter:

http://zooserver.mycorp.com/status

To determine the version of the LAN Zoo you are running, launch the Zoo Administrator (ZooAdmin.exe) and select Help → About.
