ISV server screens

These functions are accessed much more conveniently through the Site protection System Menu, which is the recommended method.

Since this area of the Vectorworks Site Protection server software is accessed and used often, each button is described. Some of the functionality is documented in more detail in other sections, with links provided.

Access: Click Status from the main Server Administration screen to access the Status screen. From there, click vektorwrx from the Server Status column.

Description: This screen shows the status of the ISV server. It verifies license usage and status.

Parameter	Description
ISV Version Information	Displays ISV server information
vektorwrx software version	The version of the ISV server
vektorwrx comm version	The version of the client-server communication
debug log file	The name of the Debug log file
report log file	The names of report log files
vektorwrx Statistics	Shows the starting time of the Vectorworks server software and the communication information. The Vectorworks server software reloads all license files daily at midnight. For more information, see Displaying the server operating status.
Since Start/Since Midnight/Recent	The columns show the items since start, since midnight, and during the last 30 minutes. It serves as a load estimation for the various time periods for servers that have been running for a long time.
Start Time	The start time is shown in each column for the corresponding time period
Messages	Displays the number of TCP messages sent to the ISV server
Connections	Displays the number of connections to the ISV server
Checkouts	Shows the number of times the license was used
Denials	Displays the number of times the license usage was denied. (An ISV option denies the use of a license.)
License Removals	Shows the number of times a license that was in use was removed and returned to the Vectorworks server software
Current Connections	Shows the number of licenses currently connected
License pool status
Product	Displays the license borrowing settings file, rlm_roam, for internal use by Resprise software
Pool	The license pool number
Ver	Shows the version of the product
Expires	Displays the expiration date of the license. “Permanent” indicates a license that never expires.
count	Shows the number of licenses available, minus the reserved seats for that product
soft lim	For Vectorworks software, displays the count plus the number of reserved licenses (the total number of seats available for use)
inuse	Shows the number of licenses currently used
res	Shows the number of licenses reserved
roam	Shows the number of licenses currently borrowed. If no clients are currently borrowing a license, this item is not shown.
hostid	Indicates whether the license is protected by hardware, such as a dongle. Since the Vectorworks server software itself is protected by a dongle, this item displays ANY.
share	This field shows whether the license is shared (opened many times by the same user on one machine). For Vectorworks software, license sharing is not permitted, so this field always shows None. If the same user opens multiple instances of Vectorworks on the same machine, multiple seats will be used since sharing is not permitted.
checkouts	Shows the number of times the license was checked in/checked out
Show Usage	Click to show user information. For more information, see License usage status.
License Password	Does not apply to this software
Refresh	Reloads the page
BACK	Returns to the previous screen
