lmdiag -n -c port@host

From our observations, this error does not appear to be harmful. The problem has been reported for FLEXlm versions between 8 and 10. More recent versions no longer seem to have this issue.

To fix the error, try downloading the latest version of lmutil  and place it in the C:\xflicstat directory. If this does not fix the problem, talk to your application vendor and get a fixed version of FLEXlm.

 

Does License Statistics handle FLEXlm reservations?

flexnet reservations

License Statistics handles reservations that aren't included in license usage statistics until they're actively used.

When querying a FLEXlm license server, output that includes reserved licenses looks similar to the following:

Users of adv_assemblies: (Total of 27 licenses issued; Total of 6 licenses in use)

  "adv_assemblies" v21.0, vendor: uglmd
  floating license

2 RESERVATIONs for INTERNET 10.1.*.* (lic_ugs/27000)
2 RESERVATIONs for INTERNET 10.10.*.* (lic_ugs/27000)
2 RESERVATIONs for INTERNET 121.*.*.* (lic_ugs/27000)

Why do I see "checkin failed" in the FLEXlm debug log when running License Statistics?

When running License Statistics, you may see something similar to the following in your FLEXlm debug log:

19:43:34 (MSC) OUT: "PATRAN" user1@address1
19:43:43 (MSC) IN: "PATRAN" user2@address2  (INACTIVE)
19:44:18 (MSC) Checkin failed feature "NASTRAN": root na5 /dev/tty

During operation, License Statistics uses the lmdiag command to poll information from the license daemon. The error is due to bugs between lmdiag and lmgrd + vendor daemon, and not License Statistics itself.

To reproduce this, you can type:

 

lmdiag -n -c port@host

From our observations, this error does not appear to be harmful. The problem has been reported for FLEXlm versions between 8 and 10. More recent versions no longer seem to have this issue.
