GUI Description
The i4admin GUI provides an intuitive dialog based interface to manage all aspects of the
LicensePower/iFOR licensing system. The main window is divided into four functional areas:
• The menu bar contains pulldown menus which provide the interface to all administrative commands.
• The toolbar provides direct access to frequently used commands.
• All reports are displayed in the scrolling display area.
• When performing a task, the tool displays its progress in the status line at the bottom of the main
window.
The GUI tool can perform the following tasks which will be described in detail in succeeding sections.
• Basic license administration which includes adding and deleting licenses.
• Extensive report generation based on current license usage and logged license events.
GUI Administrative Tasks
The Administrative tasks are adding licenses, deleting licenses, and cleaning up stale licenses. There are
two ways to add a license. If the license information has been provided in the form of a license certificate (a
flat file describing the license), follow the first procedure. If the license information has been provided in
any other form, follow the second procedure.

2. Select the server to add the license to from the Server drop-down listbox.
3. Select the Read certificate... button.
4. Enter the name of the license certificate in the Selection entry field. The Filter entry field and the
Filter button can be used to limit the selection to a specific file or range of files.
5. Select OK to accept the file selection and close the dialog. Verify that the Vendor name, Product
name, and Product version appear correctly on the Add License panel.
6. Select OK to add the license to the selected server and close the Add license dialog.
Adding a license manually
1. Open the Add pulldown menu and select the License... menu item.
