viewing "who has" a licence

Hi all,
I'd like to know if LDD3 has a log file that I can link to our Company Cadd
Intranet so that if someone needs a license they
can click on the file and see who all in the company has a license. Then
maybe they could buzz someone and see if they could log off.
"For instance, staying in the Civil Design Module when doing detail sheets".

Thanks in advance.

WU -
Not exactly the intranet, but you can view the license information. Get a copy of lmutil.exe from the adlm server and put it on your
local workstation somewhere. From that folder in a command window type
lmutil lmstat -a
I've been working on a little util to pop some of this info up in a message box (I'm having some trouble with it right now, and
haven't had time to fix it) on the client machine, but making this into an asp that runs from the intranet is a cool idea. The
lmutil should get you what you need, but I'll add the intranet thing to my todo list.
It could actually be done fairly easy if anyone wants to pursue it. Just right the lmutil lmstat -a results to a txt file and then
with some regular expressions / formatting that could be published as a web page. It'd be really simple.

I just tried out the little license checking utility that you posted earlier
in CF, and it worked fine here. I'm not much of a programmer, but it seems
to me that you should be able to get it to generate an HTML file fairly
easily. From there, it probably isn't a huge step to get it to work as part
of an interanet page.

Anyway, nice little tool. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Charles.

Yea, generating the html is actually very easy. I've got most of the html "local" version done, I just haven't had time to finish
it (which means I haven't debugged, and I'm somehow leaving the wsh process running when I close).

I'd really like to make it more of an asp page, but I haven't even started looking at that yet. I like the idea of it running as an
asp on the web server because it keeps the lmutil off the user machines (it's not like they can't download it for free, but I really
prefer not "giving" it to them).

Well, if you get that put together, and you're willing to share, please let
me know, it sounds great.

Also, if there is a way to get SAMReport Lite to cough up more informative
reports, you could build that into your ASP page, since it also creates HTML
output.

Is a full versionof SAMReport Expensive? The Globetrotter Website doesn't
seem to list prices anywhere.

I wanna say that the full version is around $5k, but I can't confirm (globetrotter used to have prices, I think, because I'm almost
sure that I've seen it somewhere). I've though about trying to "process" the debug log, yes I know that it plainly says that "this
log intended for debugging only, blah, blah, blah", but I think it's close enough for what information I would want. The bad thing
is that it's cleared every time you restart the service, so "historical" usage might be a problem. Opinions??

Hi,

Jason it's not the debug log that the SAM is reading. It's a separate
logfile you have to make Flex generate in the adskflex.opt -file. This
file if correctly configured is cumulative and will not overwrite when
the server goes down. The line in the opt -file looks like this:

REPORTLOG +E:\license\reportlog.rl

The + makes it cumulative. This won't help much though. Here's a clip
from the file:

R1*7s(L12g8Oeiy,ZgEO^%v)~m.-~i5lVijiw,yJ?4elIlc5yk,l{J!ki(beKSim}(t(/-

And the price is an annual service charge PER SERVER!

Yea, I know that the sam report reads the rl file specified by the options file, but I can't read that one (I can't even get close
to reading that one).

My question was whether or not the debug.log (or more importantly, my interpretation of the) information would be useful to anyone
as a asp page, rather than just a .log file on the adlm.

For something that does a little bit more than the free version - that's out
of control.
