Reporting FLEXnet license usage data

This section describes methods for creating license usage reports. If your FLEXnetlicense server is on a wide area network (WAN) and the users in different locations receive technical support and customer service from more than one regional SIMULIA office, you are required to submit license usage reports to SIMULIA. For more information about reporting requirements, see “License usage reporting for multi-territory accounts” in the Dassault Systèmes Knowledge Base at www.3ds.com/support/knowledge-base.

The reporting tools are available to all Abaqus licensees. Two utilities are provided with Abaqus to generate license usage reports:

The license usage reporting utilities use information from the FLEXnet debug log file. You can ensure that this log is created by including the -l option when starting the license server using lmgrd (see FLEXnet license server manager lmgrd). To subtotal reports according to user location, you must set the computer_location environment file parameter.
