Consumed License Usage not Updated in LMTools Perform Status Enquiry

[Balaji_07]

Hi All,

      Just noticed an abnormal functioning on LMtools License usage with Vault Professional 2014 in our Client Environment. We Logged into Vault with Vault Client 2014 but when i perform Status Enquiry from LMTools installed on Vault Server, It displays 0 License in use..

       Any idea or Hotfixes?

Thanks,

It's possible that a Vault license does not get consumed by the ADMS until something is actually accomplished in the Vault itself.  The client does not obtain the license.  The ADMS server does.  Try actually using it and double-check.

DarrenP, anything to add?

what does the flex lm log say?

it should be grabbing a license when you log in to the vault client

if you logging into the the ADMS console it does not consume a license

I have logged in via vault client as well as via inventor and it successfully logged into vault server 2014 and it was the only server available with client.

But when i check perform status enquiry using lmtools in vault server it shows 0 License in use. Though it was not an issue to us just wanted to know the reason behind this?..

In certain circumstances a license already checked out will run other instances e.g. multiple sessions of Navisworks only consume 1 license.  Could this be a case of a Suite-based product license already signed out be re-used?

Offcourse, it should consume at least 1 license but in this case it displays 0, since the problem is on client environment i could not provide you any screen shot or video for reference.
Thanks for ur reply. Time being leave this post as such, reply when you find similar issue. If possible i will also provide you video for reference.
