Hello,

Is there any way to see the users of the license on client mode?

I don't want users to access almutil_gui.exe in case anyone changes any setting.

flexlm license manager has a command below to list users.

 

for example: lmutil.exe lmstat -A -c portlicense_host_name -f license_name(bundle)

 

thanks in advance

    Additional options for almutil include several reporting features as well as interacting with the Hosted HyperWorks Units (HHWU) system. In order to provide both familiar and more useful status data the following option was added to almutil:

     

    -licstat[-host -port -feature -user -inuse -collapse]

     

    Display license statistics, by default list everything Information can be limited with optional arguments

     

    Multiple -feature and -user can be specified

    -inuse will limit output to features with usage

    -inuse may not be used with -feature and -user options

    -collapse will collapse shared checkouts into one entry

    For additional information you can run almutil -–help

    Altair now provides a graphical version of almutil. It provides all the functionality of almutil along with additional views of license usages, etc.
