LiMon Documentation
Welcome to the LiMon documentation. LiMon is an on-premises license monitoring appliance that supports FlexLM, RLM, LM-X, and DSLS.
Platforms
LiMon is available as Standard or Professional. Both platforms can be deployed as a native Linux package (.deb or .rpm) or as a Docker bundle.
- Standard — Perpetual platform with Admin UI, Setup Wizard, intelligence reports, and up to 20 servers.
- Professional — Perpetual platform with unlimited servers plus webhooks, AD/LDAP data enrichment for users and departments, compliance ledger, and advanced analytics.
Standard and Professional are perpetual platform licenses — you keep the platform tier you buy. Each purchase includes one year of subscription, which covers support and platform updates and enables the subscription-gated capabilities available within that tier while active.
Documentation conventions
This documentation assumes Standard capabilities are available by default. Inline pills are used only when a feature is Professional-only or requires an active subscription:
- Pro Available in Professional only
- Sub Requires an active annual subscription
