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. All rights reserved. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ LM-X License Server on 6200@XXXX: Server version: v4.4.9 Uptime: 5 day(s) 16 hour(s) 54 min(s) 18 sec(s) ---------------------------------------- Feature: HyperWorks Version: 13.0 Vendor: ALTAIR Start date: 2xxx-xx-xx Expire date: xxxx-xx-xx Key type: EXCLUSIVE License sharing: CUSTOM VIRTUAL 20989 of xxxxx license(s) used: <!-- see THIS --> ---------------------------------------- 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 21000 license(s) used by yyyyy@CCCCC [x.x.x.x] <!-- see THIS --> Login time: 2016-01-04 08:21 Checkout time: 2016-01-04 08:21 Shared on custom string: yyyyy:CCCCC
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.

Have a look at 'Altair HyperWorks Licensing', section 'The Altair Business Model: Leveling and Stacking'
With only 21HWU I can run as many Hypermesh session as I want on my PC /emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20'>

Thanks! that really helps.
GlobalZoneXX & HyperWorks are using Leveling!

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

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

I used 'almutil' and I know everything about license usage.

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?

Yes, almutil is command line util.

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 )?

You have to test it before asking.
Have a look at my screenshot:
