See Chapter 8, “Mobile Licensing,” and Chapter 7, “License Administration

Tools,” in the FLEXnet Licensing End User Guide for more details.

Enabling the network license server REPORTLOG file

The network license server can produce a REPORTLOG file that records license use.

Note Asset management reporting capabilities require a report log.

The report log is enabled by adding this command in the options file:

REPORTLOG [+]report_log_path

where report_log_path is the report log file for this vendor daemon. Sybase recommends that you prepend the report_log_path with a plus (+) character to append logging entries, otherwise, the file is overwritten each time the daemon starts.

Note The Replication Server installation automatically creates an options file with REPORTLOG enabled. The options file, SYBASE.opt, is located in $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/licenses.

Using SAMreport

SAMreport is a report generator that records the license use of FLEXnet- licensed applications. SAMreport records license use based on license activity recorded in the FLEXnet report logs, and on selected criteria that includes product and feature name, user, date and time, and display or host.
