Back to OP5 Monitor FAQ

How can I see what my ITRS OP5 Monitor License contains or how long it is valid?

There are two easy ways to see more details about your license file. One is through the web UI, and the other is through the command line.

Web UI Copied

  1. Click on the OP5 Monitor icon in the top left corner and click on ‘About’.1

  2. Here you can find how many peers, hosts, pollers, and services your license contains.2

Command line Copied

You can also use the open-source tool OP5 License Inspector to see more information about a license file. The benefit of this tool is that you can use it on your local machine, and you don’t have to install the license on an OP5 Monitor server.

Download the latest release of the tool. There are available downloads for both Linux, MacOS, and Windows. Pick the one that suits you best.

Windows Copied

Download the .exe file from the release page and save it to your computer. There might be a warning saying that this file is not trusted, or not commonly downloaded. This is expected and something that you can ignore.

Open Powershell and navigate to the downloaded executable. Then issue the command as such:

.\op5-license-inspector-windows-x86_64.exe .\license-file.lic

The above command assumes that the license-file.lic is in the same directory. If it is not, you should instead provide the full path to the file. Something like this should be shown for all different OS’s:

Recipient: name@company.com
Company: Example Company Inc
Customer ID: LKMLKFM9842984MW

Valid to: 2023-08-31

Debian-based Linux distributions Copied

Download the .deb file from the release page and install it as such:

$ sudo dpkg -i op5-license-inspector_*_amd64.deb

When done you should have the executable on your path and can run op5-license-inspector from anywhere and point it to the license file.

Red Hat-based Linux distributions Copied

Download the .rpm file from the release page and install it as such:

$ sudo dnf install -y op5-license-inspector-*.x86_64.rpm

When done you should have the executable on your path and can run op5-license-inspector from anywhere and point it to the license file.
