Find in-use licenses using the RLM Web Server

This section explains how to find in-use licenses using the RLM Web Server.

  1. Log in to the RLM Web Server. For the default username and password, see the RLM information for your Validate version.
  2. Click Status.
  3. In the ISV Servers table, find the prqa service (typically running on port 33133 on the same machine).
  4. Under the License Usage column, click prqa.
  5. Click GET License Usage.
    • The License status for ISV prqa table shows details about the licenses currently held by users for user-based tools (such as the Desktop Tools) and by machines (for build and server licenses).
    • The License pool status table shows details about the number of each type of license available (the total license pool).

Find in-use licenses using rlmstat

This section explains how to find in-use licenses using rlmstat.

  1. From your <validate_install>/3rdparty/bin or <rlm_install>/bin directory, run rlmstat using one of the following options:
    • The license file, for example: rlmstat -a -c <license_file>
    • The license server port and name, for example: rlmstat -a -c 27000@localhost

    Key information appears at the bottom of the report where the licenses in use are recorded. For example:
