Some customers told us that in some cases, they will not log in the server to check the status, so they want to know whether it is possible to check it in stead of "Perform status Enquiry" in LMTOOLS, like below figure shown.




The answer is yes, just needs to copy the LMUTIL.exe to the computer that you want to check status, and use windows command to check. Following is the detailed step.


1. Assume the server is computer A, and the workstation you want to check the licensing status on A is B

2. Copy the LMUTIL.exe in the installation directory of NLM from A

3. Paste it to B, any path you want to, for example, C:\

4. Run CMD, and go to C:\

5. Run the command: lmutil lmstat -a -c port@IP, for example lmutil lmstat -a -c 27000@192.168.0.15



Note: if you want to print the info in a file, then just use the following syntax.

lmutil lmstat -a -c port@IP >>output file path and file name

for example:

lmutil lmstat -a -c 27000@192.168.0.15 >>output.txt

You can write it in a BAT file, and then run it as a windows plan to get the info in preset time, like run it every day in specified time.
