#FLEXLM LOG PARSER LICENSE#

Whether it comes from compliance concerns or economic considerations, when the demand for an orderly picture of floating licenses arrives in the IT manager’s or license manager’s inbox, they start to look for the best way to get the report out to their manager. This article is focused on the parser and what people are doing with it. Some users of the All License Parser later graduate to OpenLM Core, with or without its extensions, but that is another story. So for the casual users like these, OpenLM took a subset of its enterprise license parsing and analysis product and launched the All License Parser, a free license and log file parser on the web.

They just want a ‘quick and dirty’ method of reading the logs or license files of the engineering software they have purchased. There are others however who have more modest needs they are neither trying to cut the organization’s engineering software budget nor take up battle to try and reach ideal license : user ratios.

#FLEXLM LOG PARSER SOFTWARE LICENSE#

Those who have the budget to invest in a purpose-built licence analysis and management tool invariably look to OpenLM’s fully-fledged enterprise software system by which user organizations of engineering software can monitor, report and manage the software licenses they have and get access to advanced software license administration functions. The downside is that efficient sharing requires monitoring and management and if not done right, new problems can be introduced such as license unavailability and the cost saving advantage of the concurrent license model can be reduced. The floating or concurrent licensing model is that favored most by those involved in the management, procurement and administration of engineering software, because it gives them a means by which they can efficiently share their expensive software licenses between several users, under the assumption that not everyone needs to use the software at the same time. I've investigated lmborrow but it does not seem to generate a token either.There are many people involved in the administration of engineering software licenses that want more information about the licenses they have in the organization and how they are being used. BUT this does not generate a license (this only checks if I can reasonably hope for one or not). Int used = Int32.TryParse(m.Groups.Value, out value) ? value : 0 Int total = Int32.TryParse(m.Groups.Value, out value) ? value : 0 are only returned: m.Succes = true and m.Groups.Value = MyFeatureName MatchCollection matches = Regex.Matches(output, matchPattern) String matchPattern = of (\w+).*Total of (\d+) license.*Total of (\d+) license" String args = "lmstat -f " + MyFeatureName + " -c " + file List candidates = new List(file.Split(' ')) String file = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("LM_LICENSE_FILE")

#FLEXLM LOG PARSER CODE#

Inspired from this previous question, I have been able to get the following code to check if a license is valid or not (and detect, when several lm servers are used, which one to use): //get the potential file candidates So first, you need to check if a license is available. To do this, you have to know where the file is / may be, and use lmutil. You have to create your own LicenseProvider and implement getLicense. You cannot use a LicFileProvider to read FlexLMFiles

#FLEXLM LOG PARSER HOW TO#

I've tried to use LicenseManager.IsValid(typeof(ModuleFlexFeature),new ModuleFlexFeature(), out thisLicense) īut both have similar results (code seems to work but thisLicense is null)Īm I doing anything wrong ? is LicenseManager compatible with FlexLM ? or is there a bug on the third-party app which runs my plug-in (somehow does not connect to the license server properly)? How to check?

LicenseManager.Validate() does not throw exception (expected).Then I can add in the extra servers to be used by the third party app, but: Using the LMTOOLS by Flexera, I can get the License Server Status (I am running on 0 out of 1 license for myFlexLMFeature is used). (+ other irrelevant methods), using: internal class ModuleFlexFeature Return (thisLicense != null) //thisLicense is always null ThisLicense = LicenseManager.Validate(typeof(ModuleFlexFeature),thisFeature) If(thisFeature=null) thisFeature = new ModuleFlexFeature() Protected thisLicense īool isLicensed = LicenseManager.IsLicensed(typeof(ModuleFlexFeature)) //returns TRUE The License File itself is FlexLM generated. I am developing a plug-in for a third-party application which requires to use a System.LicenseProvider.
