IBM® Tivoli® License Compliance Manager (ITLCM) is a Web-based solution that can help you manage software usage metering and license allocation services on supported systems. In general, ITLCM recognizes and monitors the products that are installed and in use on your system.
Once installed and activated, ITLCM scans your system for product inventory signatures that indicate whether a given product is installed on your system. ITLCM also identifies the version, release, and modification levels of the product. Inventory signature files are not updated after a PTF update package is installed.
ITLCM agent, once deployed on a computer, collects information about the level and duration of IBM XL C/C++ for Linux compiler use on that computer and can generate reports based on the information it collects.
If IBM XL C/C++ for Linux is installed in the default location, the signature files are in the /opt/ibmcmp/vac/11.1/ directory. Otherwise, if IBM XL C/C++ for Linux is installed in a non-default location, the signature files are in the $target_dir/vac/11.1/ directory, where $target_dir is the target directory for installation specified by --prefix option of the non-default installation command.
