Hi,

For the first time ever, we're encountering what look like licence denials due to too many people being logged on.

The trouble is, we're not sure if this is really the case. We've browsed the Flexnet licence log file but it doesn't seem to say that all our licences are out.

So the question is, how do we find out who has a licence for System Architect booked out? Is there a part of the app that will tell us who is logged in?

I've found that we can use a command line but we don't have easy access to the server on which the licence server is installed.
lmutil lmstat -c license.dat -a

Obviously, we can email everyone and ask them to shut down if not using, but it would be nice to be able to watch usage.

Thanks,

J.

Hi.

I think you have to install the Flexnet things on a server.

I think you have do that by the program: lmtools.exe

With lmtools.exe you can start/stop and do different things on the server.

Also: How does it go with the licenses.

In "lmtools.exe" you press on "Server Status". It show who is using System Architect. And other thins in connection with the licenses you have bought.

I have "lmtools.exe" installed om my local PC. And have limited access toe lmtools.exe. But I can see how things goes with the licenses.

Off course there is also a 'help'-facility in "lmtools.exe".

Thanks for the replies.

We running FlexNet on a UNIX server, to which we have very little access (I can browse the log file, but not run the utilities - the latter only being available from the command line). I've read the manuals and I'm pretty sure that there is no SA-based status query tool for the licence server.

As it happens, we tracked down the particular issue. From reading the log file for the last couple of days, we only had two SA licences out, but one user was also using our single Webpublisher licence. The user who was locked out had had SA crash when making a change. For some reason, Flexnet would not serve her a licence for anything until the Webpublisher one was booked back in.

Weird.

Hi.

I forgot flexnet could be placed on a unix-server.

We've got it placed on a windows PC.

Couldn't you just find a very very very cheep ordinary bambus-PC with Windows placed on it?

Perhaps you could get some help from: www.macrovision.com?
