    Anyone found a tool to read FLEXlm logs that falls between SAMreport lite
    and the full product? It seems lite can only tell you usage since FLEXlm
    went on-line, not broken down by month. Pretty useless. The full SAMreport
    can tell you everything, but a 30 person firm paying $7000 a year would
    require that managment be smoking crack, which thankfully they are not ;)
    So, are there any other tools out there that will read the logs, or has
    anyone written their own? If so, how hard was it? Are the logs easy to
    decipher? A good view of usage would sure help me argue for more seats, but
    lite won't give me the data I need, and if I had $7000 to spend I would just
    get two more seats of ADT and be done with it ;)

    Best,
    Gordon

    We whipped up a little hack here. We have the logs dump every 15 min,
    parse them into a more usable format, and then graph them in excel. It
    isn't much but we get a graphical history of how many licenses are used up.
