The information on this page refers to LM-X version 6.0, which introduced the LM-X License Server UI to replace the LM-X License Server Client. If you are running a version previous to LM-X version 6.0, please refer to archived documentation for information relevant to prior versions.

The Usage page in the LM-X License Server UI gives you license usage statistics for borrow, grace and trial licenses for the LM-X server. (These license usage statistics provide basic information; for a full-featured license usage monitoring solution, we highly recommend using License Statistics.) 

You can choose to show statistics for features, users or dynamic reservations using the pick list above the report.

Each of these options is described below.

Viewing feature information

To view usage statistics for features, select Features from the pick list at the top of the Usage page. 

The Features usage report includes the following information for each feature being served by the LM-X license server:

  • Feature name
  • Feature version number
  • Software vendor name
  • Key type (e.g., Exclusive, Additive, Upgrade, Token, etc.)
  • Share code (e.g., Host, User, Virtual, etc.)
  • License start and expire dates
  • License type (e.g., Network)
  • Total number of licenses for that feature on the license server
  • Number of licenses in use
  • Number of borrowed licenses

Viewing user information

To view usage statistics for users, select Users from the pick list at the top of the Usage page. 

The Users usage report includes the following information for each user on the LM-X license server:

  • User name
  • User's machine hostname
  • The IP address for the user's machine
  • The feature(s) the user checked out (each feature is given in an individual row)
  • The number of licenses the user has used
  • The user's login and checkout time
  • The state of the license (Borrowed, Checked Out, etc.)
  • Borrow expiration

The Users usage report may contain identical usernames and hosts if:

  • The user checked out multiple different features, in which case, each feature is displayed in a separate row
  • Multiple clients are started (for example, multiple instances of one application), in which case, each client is listed separately. (If you remove one client, the remaining clients will still remain valid.)

Viewing dynamic reservation information

To view usage statistics for dynamic reservations, select Dynamic Reservations from the pick list at the top of the Usage page. 

The Dynamic Reservations usage report includes the following information for each user on the LM-X license server:

  • The feature name
  • The reservation token
  • The number of used licenses
  • The time the reservation will expire
