- Click the Administration tab:
- Check the check box next to the desired server name (there may be several server names) to view the licenses enrolled on that server.
The licenses you enrolled are listed:
A tool tip is displayed on the vertical scrollbar to display the total number of lines and the range of lines displayed.
Time values displayed in UTC.
- Click the Display superseded licenses button if you wish to list licenses belonging to a replacement group which is not the highest. Click again to revert back to the default (Hide superseded licenses).
This button is grayed out if no superseded licenses exist. This is always the case when connected to a license server on a level higher than or equal to R2016x.
- The next button to the right displays one of three choices, depending on the context:
- if any licenses have expired, and can be removed, the Remove expired licenses button will be displayed. Click this button to remove any licenses from the list which have expired. This option is not available in restricted mode.
- click the Hide expired licenses button to hide from the GUI the expired licenses belonging to a replacement group containing non-expired licenses and which cannot be removed. Expired licenses belonging to a replacement group can be removed only if all licenses in this group have expired, since a replacement group can only be removed as a whole.
- click the Display expired licenses button to display the expired licenses belonging to replacement groups also containing non-expired licenses.
When the button remains grayed out, no licenses have expired.
- Click the Select columns... button to choose which columns to display in the tab.
The Select Columns dialog box is displayed:
The columns you can display are:
- Status
- The license status can be:
- Active: the license has been enrolled and is valid

- Invalid: replacement group has been partially enrolled. You have to remove it and re-enroll it properly. The line appears in red.

What are License Replacement Groups?
The Group Index
column displays the license replacement group index.
A given license ID can exist either for a single feature or a group of features.
When you enroll the feature licenses for a given license ID and for the first time, the number in the Group Index
column is set to "0", and the Status is Active. When your licensing needs evolve, you may need to replace an existing feature or group of features referenced by the same license ID. This is referred to as a license replacement group. When you enroll the new license replacement group for the same license ID:
- the Status of the previous license changes to Superseded and is no longer displayed. If you wish to display superseded replacement groups, click on the Display superseded licenses button. To gain useful space, after a given period of validation, we recommend that you remove superseded licenses. This is automatically performed by license servers on a level higher than or equal to R2016x.
- a new line containing the same license ID is added, the number in the
Group Index
column is incremented, and the status of the license is Active.
