License Manager Architecture

Overview

License Manager works in a client/server architecture, where the main components are the Agent, the API and the CLI.

The License Manager Agent is the component that syncs the local Slurm license counters with the License Server data. It's also responsible for making Booking requests to the License Manager API when a job is submitted to Slurm.

The License Manager API provides a RESTful API where license usage and Bookings are tracked. The License Manager Agent uses this API to store the license usage information and to process the Booking requests.

The License Manager CLI provides an interface for managing license Configurations and retrieving usage information for tracked licenses via the License Manager API.
