License Log Analysis FAQ
Common questions about license manager log analysis, FlexNet/FlexLM debug logs, Reprise RLM report logs, and engineering license usage reporting.
What is License Log Analysis?
License Log Analysis is the process of turning raw license manager logs into readable reports for license usage, denials, concurrent demand, users, workstations, features, vendors, and session duration. It helps engineering IT, SAM, ITAM, CAD, and BIM teams understand how floating licenses are actually being used.
Which license manager logs can this tool analyze?
The active parsers support Flexera FlexNet / FlexLM debug logs, Reprise RLM report logs, Sentinel RMS usage logs, Dassault Systemes DSLS logs, Altair ALM transactional logs, and X-Formation LM-X license logs.
Is this only a FlexLM log analyzer?
No. FlexLM and FlexNet Publisher logs are an important use case, but the tool is structured as a broader license manager log analysis platform. The modular parser architecture handles additional license manager formats such as RLM, Sentinel RMS, DSLS, Altair ALM, and X-Formation LM-X separately.
Does my log file get uploaded?
No. The analysis runs in the browser. The file is read locally and processed on the user's device. There is no server upload and no backend processing.
What reports does the tool generate?
The tool generates reports for overview metrics, concurrent usage, license denials, usage duration, raw events, and data quality. Each report includes its own controls, grouping, sorting, and CSV export where applicable.
Why analyze license manager logs?
License manager logs help reveal real license demand, peak usage, denied requests, long sessions, inactive usage, and opportunities to improve license availability. This can support software asset management, procurement decisions, renewal planning, and engineering license optimization.
Can this help with CAD, BIM, and engineering software licenses?
Yes. Many CAD, BIM, PLM, simulation, EDA, and engineering applications use floating license managers such as FlexNet, RLM, Sentinel RMS, DSLS, Altair ALM, or X-Formation LM-X. Log analysis helps teams understand actual usage instead of relying only on license counts or assumptions.
Can I export the results?
Yes. The reports include CSV export options per table/report, so users can export the specific analysis they need without exporting the entire dataset.
