How to get the total number of floating licenses?

Hi Stephan,

There are a few ways to get the total license count. The easiest way is to read the license.dat file on the server itself (it can be opened using any text editor). Typically the license.dat is stored in <IntegrityServerInstallDIR>/data/license, but to confirm you can open <IntegrityServerInstallDIR>/config/properties/is.properties (open it in a text editor) and look for the 'mksis.licensepath' property - this will tell you where your license is kept. When you open the license, you can look for the following:

FEATURE MKSSourceIntegrity-Float MKS 5.0 permanent 10

FEATURE MKSIntegrityManager-Float MKS 5.0 permanent 5

In the two examples above, I have 10 Source Floating licenses, and 5 Integrity (Workflows and Documents) floating licenses. In your license.dat, the float licenses may be split into multiple lines that start with 'INCREMENT' instead of 'FEATURE' - you'll want to add the increment lines to the feature lines to get the total number.

If you want to use Flexnet to get the license information, you can click 'Perform Status Inquiry' on the 'Server Status' tab in LMTOOLS (older versions of Flexnet) and look for 'Total licenses / In Use'. If you're using the newer Flexnet (Web-based), look under the 'Dashboard' tab > click 'Concurrent', and you will see In Use / Available numbers for each license feature.

Hope this helps!
