                <p>WlmAdmin is meant for monitoring the feature usage and licensing activity 
 of applications licensed using Sentinel RMS.</p>
                <p>It is typically meant to be used by the system administrator for viewing 
 information related to licenses (such as their availability) and clients 
 using them.</p>
                <p>It can also be used for adding licenses to a License Manager, deleting 
 licenses, and revoking licenses.</p>

                <p>It should be run on an administrator's computer (on which the licensing 
 activity and application usage needs to be monitored and logged). This 
 has to be a networked system in the same subnet. However, it is not necessary 
 to have the RMS License Manager installed on this system.</p>

                <p>To run WlmAdmin use Windows Explorer to navigate the location of the

 the file to start the program. (The exact location of this file depends 
 on your application vendor). </p>
                <p>The first time you start WlmAdmin, it shows an empty screen, but as 
 soon as you have selected License Managers to monitor, WlmAdmin displays 
 information about them. You can also see information about licenses on 
 the License Managers and the users who use them. </p>
