When is the LastAccessedDate field updated

Each QLM License record contains a field called LastAccessedDate (LAD).

Despite its name, this field is not updated whenever a record is accessed. A more appropriate name for this field would have been LastModifiedDate. The LAD is updated in the following cases:

• When the license is initially created.

• When the license is activated.

• When the license is released (deactivated).

• When the license is updated/upgraded.

• When the license expiry date is extended.

• When the license is revoked.

As of QLM v15, any change to license information by editing a license in the QLM Management Console, in the QLM Portal or by calling the UpdateLicenseInfo API will update the LastAccessedDate. Additionally, extending the expiry date of a license automatically updates the Computer Key of the activated licenses and hence updates the LAD. This feature must be enabled by setting the server property options/updateLastAccessedDateAfterAnyEdit to true.
