Tip of the week: Use lmstat -f to display users of a particular feature

It is sometimes helpful to do a status of the license server by feature name. This is done by using the lmstat command with the '-f' option. Here's the syntax:

lmutil lmstat -f [feature] -c [path to license file]

*Specifying the path to license file is not necessary if the path is set in LM_LICENSE_FILE

For example, this command will show if the feature 'pwrshell' is in use, and by whom:

C:\MentorGraphics\Licensing>lmutil lmstat -f pwrshell -c c:\flexlm\test.txt
