How do we generate reports on and / or receive early warning alerts on interesting licensing events, such as early alerts on expiring trial licenses or attempted security breaches?

Two capabilities in the Orion server support this requirement:

• License-expiration daemon: this is a background job that runs on a schedule specified by your administrator and monitors all or specific sets of customer licenses specified by your administrator for time-limited or metered licenses that are about to expire or have expired according to default thresholds, or thresholds explicitly specified by your administrators. Alerts are raised in response to qualifying user licenses and are communicated in a number of ways, the default communication channel being email.
• Your administrator can run reports to obtain lists of user licenses that meet specified search criteria, including expired and expiring licenses. The reports may be run from the Orion server’s administration user interface and downloaded, or it may be run using the equivalent administration API or command line tool.
