About Hummingbird Metering Client Settings

Often, administrators need to track the number of product licenses deployed in their organizations. Hummingbird Metering Client is a component of Hummingbird Metering Server, which is an application that lets you trace licensing and user information for all Hummingbird Connectivity products installed on a particular host machine.

Hummingbird Metering Client Settings lets you configure metering client settings for a particular host machine without having to launch Sconfig. These settings, which are used to establish communication between a metering server and its metering clients, are displayed in the Hummingbird Metering Client Settings dialog box. A graphical and command line version of Hummingbird Metering Client Settings is provided with Metering Client.

You can modify the following client settings for your host machine at any time, provided that a metering server has been properly set up, typically by the administrator, and the Metering Client (metering.dll) has been properly installed and configured on your host machine:
