Using the Advanced Options in Palisade Server Manager

Overview

The Advanced Options button is the magnifying-glass icon near the lower-left corner of the Server Manager window. Clicking it opens a panel containing three buttons: View, Host ID, and Execute.

1. View

• Opens a Notepad window with debugging information.

• Supplements the Status display:

Concurrent Network Licenses:

• Status shows licenses currently in use and current users.

• View shows all usage since the license service last started:

  • OUT lines → software launched by end users

  • IN lines → software closed or license released

Enterprise Network Licenses:

• Status shows the number of activated clients and total allowed users.

• View allows you to see which clients are activated:

  • Search by Activation ID (Ctrl+F)

  • Each activated client appears as a “Destination System Name” line

Exception:

• If the license log is redirected, Server Manager cannot display it. Check the redirected log file instead.

2. Host ID
