Is there any way for DOORS to send an email when someone tries to open it and there aren't any licenses left? We're trying to keep track of how often this is happening so we can see how many licenses we need to buy.

Our IS department has a web page that provides graphs of license usage. They have a process that runs a FlexLM query every five minutes, and updates the graphs using a tool called MTRG.
You could do something similar -- I've been considering this myself, to avoid having to watch the graphs. Have a scheduled task (or what-have-you) run every n minutes, running the FlexLM query and sending email if you are above a certain threshold, e.g. Unfortunately this wouldn't let you know how many people tried to log in while you were out of licenses, but it should still give you an idea of what's going on. You can get the FlexLM manuals online. Depending on your setup, something like the following should get you the DOORS usage: lmutil.exe lmstat -f DOORS -c <path>\doors.dat or lmutil.exe lmstat -c <path>\doors.lic where doors.dat or doors.lic are your license files (from Telelogic) or at least some kind of pointer to how to access them (server name, etc.).

David--I want to second the use of MRTG. I haven't used it for DOORS, but MRTG is awesome stuff. I helped implement it at a company almost 10 years ago. Amazing that it is still being used.
