Release license while working in NX
Release license while working in NX
(OP)
Hi All,
We are still on floating licenses (no Mach Bundles). Up to NX6 (I believe) it was possible to release any licenses, you were using in NX, by selecting Ctrl-W shortcut on the keyboard.
NX would go to Gateway making the rest of the licenses available for others...
As of NX7.5 this is no longer possible (as it seems). Is there another way of releasing the licenses you are using without shutting down NX?

No OOTB shortcut exists for Gateway that I could find.
Why not just create a shortcut to automatically send you to Gateway?

RE: Release license while working in NX
the objective is not to go to Gateway...(that would be the end result). For me it is important to release all licenses...
To be specific, we have a limited amount of Advanced Assemblies licenses. Currently it is only possible to release such a license (when used) by shutting down the NX session of the user who has the license...This is of course not the best solution..

Application - Gateway ( or File - Gateway in later versions) should still do the same trick. (?)

I think there is also a flush command that will kill all license connections with FlexNet.

Anyway, :
The Lmutil has the option to remove a specific license from a specific user, :
The C:\siemens\flexlem\lmutil ( to be run in a command window, not a graphical user interface)
( lmutil -help prints all the options)
"
lmutil lmremove [-c licfile] feature user host display
"

Yeah, I think the rest of the users will really like that action....
