- You have installed the ILMT but no internal resources for regular maintenance?
- Error messages pop up (access to vCenter, systems not reachable, agent scanning errors, etc.) and you don't have time to fix them?
- You create an audit snapshot and are unsure whether it is error-free or contains risks?
- You have purchased IBM Cloud Paks and there are uncertainties if and how the verification is done in ILMT or IBM License Services?
- What happens with the container Kubernetes environment (container licensing)?
- You need to apply a new update and don't know what impact it will have on your existing system?
- New software components are detected and you don't know if they are licensed and chargeable?

What is the IBM License Metric Tool?
The IBM License Metric Tool (ILMT) is provided by IBM free of charge to ensure the monitoring of IBM software in virtualized environments. This gives the customer the option of licensing IBM software according to the virtual processor power actually used instead of licensing the entire physical server capacity on which IBM software is installed. The use of the tool can therefore save licensing costs. At the same time, IBM's conditions regarding completeness and maintenance must be strictly adhered so that IBM's subcap conditions are recognized in an audit without high additional demands.
