-**Automated License Discovery and Configuration**
41
41
The new `license-manager` command-line tool automatically queries FlexNet license servers and synchronizes license availability with GCS. It discovers available licenses, creates corresponding GCS complexes with the `lm_` prefix, (configurable) and maintains accurate license counts without manual configuration.

-**Real-Time License Monitoring**
43
-
Operating as a GCS load sensor, the license-manager reports current license availability in real-time, allowing the scheduler to make informed job placement decisions based on actual license capacity. This prevents job failures due to license exhaustion and optimizes license utilization across the cluster.

The tool provides integration for tracking licenses consumed by non-GCS processes, ensuring accurate accounting of total license availability and preventing over-subscription when external applications share the same license pool.

By eliminating manual license complex configuration and aligning scheduling decisions with real-time license capacity, this enhancement reduces configuration overhead and scheduling failures, improves cluster throughput, and maximizes return on investment for costly commercial software licenses in HPC environments. The discovered and tracked licenses are available in `qtelemetry` metrics for monitoring and observability.
