The above license output example is for the Genome license. The first line shows that 1000 gigabases have been consumed. The license installed is for 100000 gigabases and 1% of the gigabases been used. The second line shows the license data and it is the expiry date that is important. The licenses expires either at the expiry date or when 100% of the licensed gigabases are consumed.

Following the license data is the license information that is stored on the dongle or USB key attached to the server. These lines show the status of all the accelerators that are enabled and they are specific to the different pipelines. The accelerators also have an expiry date which should be similar to the license for each pipelines and similar to the genome license example.
