How would one monitor Solid Edge floating license usage? For example, who has taken which license, when did they take it, and how many are avail.
SolutionFor a static look, you can bring up LMTOOLS and select the Server Status tab. Then on the server status tab select Perform Status Enquiry. This will list what products you have, how many seats you have, and how many seats are in use.
For an historical look at license usage you can look at the license server log file. To find the log file, look in LMTOOLS config services tab and the path to the debug log file is set there. This file will show you when a license was checked out, checked in and by whom. The log file is a very busy file and is not overly user friendly to look at.
Flexnet Publisher does sell an add-on license manager product that has more manageable output.
