I have a flexlm licence manager running on a remote server.
Does anyone know how to poll the server to find out what licences are in use?
It seems the only way to get licence usage over a network is to poll the flexlm daemon using:
lmutil lmstat -a -c <port-number#license-server>
I've not marked orenhg's repsonse as an answer as it is advertising his product rather than answering the question.

This might sound a little crazy but I'm asking this out of curiosity. Is it possible to build and deploy my application to an On-Premise server which can only be accessed by a vpn, using Jenkins? Assuming Jenkins is run on say a local machine(So I won't need internet access to use Jenkins) is it possible to connect Jenkins server to a vpn and do the rest of the job?
Yes, it should be possible. That's the whole idea of a VPN. As long as you are connected to the VPN you should be able to connect to the internal network of your organization.
I'm having trouble debugging a WindRiver build system where the build machine seems unable to obtain a license from the WindRiver license server. Is there a tool that allows me to run a "get me a license" check without having to run a complete build?
you can try on the client side, to run from the command line the command -lmutil stat, this will ping the license server and return a response.
regards.
Paul, in this case, if you're using another machine as a license server, first be sure that the server is up and running, after that on the client machine, set the environment variable WRSD_LICENSE_FILE = 27000# and test.
abaqus floating licenses gets hung. For example: if I kill a running job, the tokens that were previously in use (by me) gets hung and if I submit a job again there are no tokens available. When I check the token usage with abaqus licensing ru, it's my machine that’s using the tokens but no other job is running and no one else is using.
At the moment I’m restarting my machine to free up the tokens. Sometimes (Close to all) restart also doesn't help. Simulia Knowledgebase is not of much help.
I also checked whether the lmgrd.exe and ABAQUSLM is running in the process, apparently not. I don't have access to the server, How the client can purge the licenses, which the client checked out?
From the client side, it must be used the command 'lmutil' :
./lmutil lmremove --help
lmutil - Copyright (c) 1989-2014 Flexera Software LLC. All Rights Reserved.
usage: lmremove [-c licfile] feature user host display
lmremove [-c licfile] -h feature host port handle
lmremove [-c licfile] [-tsborrow <client_host>] | [-tsborrowstat]
For the 'licfile' parameter, you can use <server port>#<server name>.
But all users can't do that. Under Linux (I suppose under Windows to) the user that use this command must belong to the 'lmadmin' group on the licenses server.
A good solution is to use the 'TIMEOUT' directive in the option file if Abaqus's vendor daemon authorize this. 'TIMEOUT' define a delay. If a token isn't used during this delay, the server get it (an automatic 'IN' is done) and the token is free for an other user or the same when needed.
The license administrator can forbid this user action. It's very dangerous because all services licenses can be shut down by all members of the 'lmadmin' group. There is now way to limit the user's privileges if he belongs to the 'lmadmin' group on the licences server.
The simple solution is to ask to your licences administrator to release the token. In some case, there is no other solution than stop and restart the licences service.
Yesterday was 13th, probably well known virus caused crash of internet connection and Windows 10 functions. I could not use keyboard and mouse either to restart or to repair Windows10 with advanced options. With installation USB program started but with bugs and no internet connections was available since no hardware devices found.
The freeware tool cFosICS manages Windows Internet Connection Sharing. It comes with additional commands to fix the Windows 10 bug which may stop Internet Connection Sharing from working after a reboot.

I checked status on cmd with configip/all and got answer IP routing is disabled. So I went to device manager I looked in help how to connect to internet. In Microsoft Management Console/Contents/Get Connected/ there is Connecting to the Internet procedure.
I used Get-NetAdapter. t-NetAdapter: Cannot connect to CIM server error. The service can not be started, either because it is disabled or because another software installation is in progress. Same with Test-Configuration command. The error means: „Cannot connect the computer to the server because of restart pending.
The simple is to use Microsoft Virtual Agent which will with your problem question and it will guide it through steps needed to solve problem. It also recommednds cmd commands as referred above. In my case I had to update Windows10 with formed USB key.
We are using OPSHub free version for migrating On-Premises TFS 2013 to cloud (VSO 2015).
During Opshub installation we got an error message "Unable to connect to remote server, check the internet connectivity or Proxy settings and try again".
We found the following link http://www.opshub.com/main/ovsomu-proxy regarding this issue and we contacted our network team to get the proxy server details (to put them in the environment variable _JAVA_OPTIONS), but they would like to know how Opshub connects to internet and all the inbound and outbound connections from Opshub, which port it uses and if the data is encrypted during installation and migration etc. Can Opshub support help us out in providing this information?
OpsHub use the standard VSTS ports of https which is encrypted with SSL. There are no inbound coms.
I would however not recommend the OpsHub tool as you will quickly run into an upsell from them. If it works for you then awesome, but if they as you for money then switch to the TFS Integration Tools that are free and supported by the TFS product team.
Yes, OVSMU requires to connect to the OpsHub website during installation for Verification Code generation process. (Thereafter, it does not connect to our website)
Once, the utility has been installed, it occupies two ports 8989 and 9090 as long as the tool is running. For communication with end points, it uses the default TFS and VSTS ports.
