How to find out who uses the license
How to find out who uses the license
(OP)
Hello,
I VPN into our license server to get a UGNX9 license.
How do I find out who are using the license?
I tried lmtools and it would only show the temp license that I used last year.
How do I point lmtools to the license server in our office?
Thanks!

RE: How to find out who uses the license
On the first tab of lmtools, select the option that isn't services. You'll then be able to type in 28000@servername in the field that appears. You can then use the status tab to read the server you've pointed to instead of the service.

I have created a text file and changed the extension to ".bat"
It will then "execute" when i double click it.
The content will :
1) set the licensing directory
2) list the status of the license but send this listing to a textfile instead of the command window.
3) open the textfile ( which is simpler to rread rather than the command prompt
4) delete the textfile when i closethe notepad.
The content of this batfile:
cd C:\siemens\UGSLicensing
lmutil lmstat -c28000@servername -A > c:\temp\licenses_in_use.txt
notepad c:\temp\licenses_in_use.txt
del c:\temp\licenses_in_use.txt
REM pause
First line, "cd C:\ ..." should "cd" to the directory where you have the "lmutil"
second line , "lmutil..." contains "servername" which of course you must replace with the name of your licenseserver.
Then keep this little ".batfile" for future use.
You can also run this from different computer if your firewalls allow it and if you have a local copy of the lmutil installed.

Tomas

RE: How to find out who uses the license
On topic, the bat file needs a correction to work - add a whitespace after the -c parameter:
cd C:\siemens\UGSLicensing
lmutil lmstat -c 28000@servername -A > c:\temp\licenses_in_use.txt
notepad c:\temp\licenses_in_use.txt
del c:\temp\licenses_in_use.txt

Whenever I try to check who is using the license, it keeps saying lmgrd is not running.
Here is what I do. Using lmtools, service/license file tab, I select "configuration using license file" then type in 28000@192.168.xxx.xxx
Then I go to the server status tab, I click on perform status inquiry. It shows the License server correctly and it shows the correct license path: 28000@pdscorpxxxx
I am connected to the license server and I am currently using a license.
I have tried the batch file too and it also says that "lmgrd is not running..."

RE: How to find out who uses the license
some time ago I have similar question how to get the information of license usage. Then I discover this software: JTB FlexReport LT. If You only want to display who is running Nx right now, then free version is what You need. There is also full version which display more for example graphs with usage per months, day etc.
With best regards

If you watched the last episode of Sherlock, The evil genius recovered information by appearing to type in the air and then seeing the results in his mind.
PhoeNX does the same. Just as evil and as much a genius.
