NX: Licensing tool 1

[CAD Application Support]

Hi,

Is there any easy to display the details of features being used from the license file along with details like how many licenses are consumed and how many are free ..

Not with the licensing tool. There is a script available which will give you the possibility to get that information.
Have a look at below documentation. The "lmstat" command is what you are looking for.

I use the "lmutil lmstat" command to pull a report on the current usage.
i have a few batfiles that i use to check different licenses.
here are two examples :

1) will report all licenses in use ( the "-a" option)
the "> c:\temp\lic-in-use.txt " will send the report to the named text file instead of flashing by in the Command prompt window.
the "Timeout 2" is to give the lmutil a little time to finish before Windows opens the text file.
thereafter the notepad will be opened and when the notepad is closed, the text file will be deleted.

Copy the text from below, paste into notepad, edit to your license server name and install directory, save the textfile as ".bat"
Then doubleclick the batfile.

--------------------------------------------------------
C:
cd C:\siemens\NX\ugflexlm
lmutil lmstat -c 28000@yourlicenseserver -a > c:\temp\lic-in-use.txt
TIMEOUT 2

notepad c:\temp\lic-in-use.txt

del c:\temp\lic-in-use.txt

--------------------------------------------------------

2) i have another version to check who is using the simulation licenses.
this requires that you know the exact name of the license you want to check specifically, the easy way to know that is to run the script above.
then this syntax : ( NX_masterfem is an example) The rest of the script as above.

lmutil lmstat -c 28000@yourlicenseserver -f NX_masterfem > c:\temp\sim-lic-in-use.txt

LMtools or LMutils(?) should open a window that you can perform a system status check on to see all licenses and how many are in use.

I was looking for some kind of web browser supported utility. I found a tool named License status. But it looks very clumsy. Iam looking for some kind of easier way, where I can search for FPC / NX sheetmetal features and it shows how many we have and how many are free and who has them..

Did you try my batch file ?

There are very nice tools to do license statistics etc , but , they have a price tag.

Hi Dave,

I used it, but the output is not very user friendly..I cannot filter for the features I want to check.

Have a look at openlm.com.

It not free, but is very good
