OpenLM supports a wide variety of license managers for license statistics and the extraction of license usage reports. Among these license managers are Flexera Flexnet, DSLS, IBM LUM, LM-X, Sentinel RMS, and Sentinel HASP. During the development of OpenLM’s interface to Dassault Systemes’ proprietary license manager: DSLS, we needed to extract DSLS information using command lines.

The following is an account of the commands used in this process, and examples for commands’ output. The logs are typed in a manner that would fit this page, and are edited to be non-personalized.

Command:
DSLicSrv -admin [-I inputFile] [-t OutputFile]
Employ the DSLS license administrator tool in command line mode.

  • Optionally redirect the output to OutputFile
  • Optionally run the license administrator commands from a command file.

Outcome:
The DSLS administrator tool was employed in command line mode. The admin> prompt appeared.


Command:
connect <HostName> <port>
Connect the administration tool to a license server <HostName> on a specific port <port>.

Outcome:
The following was emitted on the screen:
