Last used license not checked in

Reviewing our license usage logs it appears that the last license that's
in use on Friday is either not checking in or SAMLite isn't reporting it
properly. With only one exception over the last 3 months, SAMLite
reports that a license has been in use all weekend (48 hours). Each week
the person it reports the license was used for is different and with my
options file, licenses are automatically checked in after 1/2 hour of
idle time.

Anyone have any ideas? I'd like to get accurate reporting, even over the
weekend if at all possible.

Darren,
At the end of the day on Friday run an lmstat -a on the license server and
look for any open sessions. The complete command syntax is:
lmutil lmstat -c <path to autodesk license file> -a
Just prior to running reports try running the following:
lmutil lmreread -c <path to autodesk license file>
How often do you purge your report log and what method are you using to
purge?

I've not implemented any sort of report log (or any log for that matter)
rotation.

Do you have any recommendations for how often the logs should be
rotated? Other cleanup/housekeeping tasks that should be performed
regularly?

Hopefully these types of things can be done remotely or scheduled to run
at regular intervals, because our server room is a hassle to get into
(as it should be).

Map your license server to a drive letter and you should be OK doing it
remotely.
Example:
i:\lmutil.exe lmstat -c i:\license -a
Here the UNC path to the license server is mapped to i:

Peer

 

Map your license server to a drive letter and you should be OK doing it

Thanx. I'll try that...if I ever get any free time. ;-)
