Finding out how many licenses are in use

To find out how many licenses are in use, use the FlexNet Publisher utility lmstat. lmstat is installed with the Server package.

From <server_install>/3rdparty/bin, run:

lmstat -a -c <license_server_port>@<license_server_host> -f <feature_name>

Understanding the lmstat output

You need to pay attention to two keywords:

The server keyword shows total build license consumption.
The client keyword shows total user license consumption.

Note: The label used for the license type may differ in your license file. The examples here use "server" and "client". Your license file may use other labels, such as "fixserver", "fixclient" and "client".

Example lmstat output

Here's an example snippet from the lmstat output, showing total build and user license consumption:

Users of kwadmin2019:  (Total of 5 licenses issued;  Total of 4 licenses in use)

The line Users of server: (Total of 5 licenses issued; Total of 4 licenses in use) shows that four out of the five available fixed server licenses are currently in use. Below the Users of client line, license usage details by user and host are displayed. The line beginning with "tyoung" shows us that user "tyoung" checked out a build license on the machine named "host01" at 9:06 a.m. on Monday, March 21. Because build licenses are node-locked, the user "jfall" has consumed three build licenses -- one for each machine they're using.

Five out of the 10 client licenses are currently in use. User licenses are reserved for a unique user.

Note: The output of lmstat will show other license features like kwadmin, review and kwcheck. With the exception of language and optional stand-alone features, these are sub-features of the server and user licenses.

Check license usage by feature

You can check how many licenses are in use for a Klocwork feature (or component), such as Klocwork Static Code Analysis by using the -f <feature_name> option with lmstat.
