Tracking Licenses for Windchill Quality Management Solutions
Using the System Configuration Collector utility, administrators can track the number of unique licenses used daily.
• For nonconformance, customer experience management, and CAPA applications, the system tracks each user who takes an action that creates a history XML file, such as saving or finishing a task.
• For design control, the system tracks each user who takes a design history file or design master record action. The system records a license count when a user performs check-in, revise, and complete actions and the related primary business object is part of the design history file.
• For document control, the system tracks each user who takes a training tracking action. The system records a license count when a user adds or edits a training record. It also records a count for the following items:
◦ Training records that are pending
◦ Training records that are completed where the current date is between the completed date and expiration date
◦ Training records that are completed where the expiration date of the training record is blank
