We have several software packages (SolidWorks, Pro/ENGINEER, OrCAD, Minitab... ) that use FlexLM to manage network licences.
I have written a python program to poll the FlexLM daemons every few mintues using lmutil lmstat -a.
However, this requires lmutil to be installed on the same machine as the python program.
Our FlexLM licence daemons are on several servers so does anyone know how to connect to a FlexLM server over its port to ask for its licence usage state?
License status can be remotely accessed by the command:
Many more useful FLEXlm/FLEXnet options are listed in this article.
A free software from OpenLM provides a web based interface for managing FLEXlm servers. It can be downloaded from OpenLM Web Site.
It seems the only way to get licence usage over a network is to poll the flexlm daemon using:
lmutil lmstat -a -c <port-number@license-server>
