So the ArcGIS License Server and Administrator have come a long way recently (License Borrowing, Finally!!!). Let's keep up the good work and add in License Usage Query function. Yes...I know I can get this from the Flexera LMTools. But that doesn't mean I should have to. It's also god awful ugly.
Namely, I would like to:
- Display a list of users who are currently using a license from the License Server
- For each of those users, list the product(s) they are using.
- For each of those products, list the date/time when they acquired the license for that product.
- If possible, inform me of whether or not a user's session is active (they have leveraged a function or used ArcGIS in some manner within the last 10 minutes. Perhaps some geoprocessing is happening, they are panning/zooming, viewing an attribute table, ect. I dont need to know what they're are doing, I just want to know they're doing something and didnt just forget to close the program)
- Kill a user's connection to the License Server for a period that exceeds the ArcGIS Desktop License Reconnection Timeout, thus kicking them off the License Server and freeing that license back up for others.
- In the OPTIONS FILE, allow me to Limit the Number of Unique Licenses available to a Unique User (ie. At my discretion, in the OPTIONS FILE, I can prevent "USER1" or "MACHINE1" from obtaining 2 licenses of the same product concurrently, one on his/her laptop and another on his/her desktop is a common scenario where this occurs)
