the 'lmxendutil' reported usage doesn't match with sum of all users checkouts

Hi, I am using lmxendutil to report and log the usage of license, but I found that the sum of the each user usage is not correct.

 

Here is beginning of the report message:

  #lmxendutil -licstat -host XXXX -port 6200  LM-X End-user Utility v3.32 Copyright (C) 2002-2010 X-Formation.

My point is the number in '20989 of xxxxx license(s) used'  is not equal to the each user sum up 21000+21000 = 42000.

It looks the reported total usage is about half of the each user usage. 

 

3 features have this problem but others are correct, the 3 features are:

• GlobalZoneAP
• HWHyperMesh
• HyperWorks
   

I want to know what the relationship of the reported usage and the each user usage.

Thanks.

How to know which feature the user is using currently. The licstat command only shows the no. of license used not the feature name.

A user can open multiple instances of HyperMesh, and still only draw 21000 features. however it must be the same username and host. 

 

See - 

HyperWorks Introduction: Altair HyperWorks Licensing

 21000 license(s) used by xxxxx@BBBBB [x.x.x.x]  <!-- see THIS -->   Login time: 2016-01-04 08:01   Checkout time: 2016-01-04 08:01    Shared on custom string: xxxxx:BBBBB 

How to know,  whether the above mentioned licenses are used for HyperMesh or HyperView or any other feature.

I am trying to use in command line and not want to use GUI as i am automating the process.

Is there any way to understand 21000 license(s) belongs to which feature. Any command line to know it?

Altair Forum User said:

Yes, almutil is command line util./ 

Can you please provide me the full command line?  and the output where feature is mentioned?

Thanks a lot for supporting me.

 I am taking the output which you posted in the beginning.

From this how will you know '21000 licenses' (highlighted in blue & purple) belongs to which feature (Hypermesh or Hyperview )?
