View license usage without administrative privileges or alternatively view License usage from other computer

Bart-JanSchoenmakers — Thu, 24 Nov 2022 10:20:22 GMT

Hello all,

We have our ArcGIS license manager on a computer where only our colleagues from the system administrator group have administrative privileges.

Whenever we want to view the license usage we have to ask them for help.

I would like to know if there exists a possibility to view the license usage as a non administrator through ArcPY script or view the license usage from another computer which has administrative privileges?

Thanks all,

I solved the problem. You can use the lmutil program which is installed with the license server. Ths don't need any administrative privileges.

You can list the licences with “lmutil lmstat”

Example: lmutil lmstat -c -a "Path to License File"

You can remove the license with “lmutil lmremove”

Example: lmutil lmremove -c "Path License File" FEATURE USER CLIENT_MACHINE “Display Information”

The syntax needs some attempts, with the following links you’ll find information how to use these commands:
