Hi with a floating license setup, is there a way to manage licences in use? I.E kick specific, known inactive sessions off to free up licenses?

Yes, it is using FlexLM and its a is/was a widely used license manager that is detailed well on the internet.

For instance using the lmutil.exe you can get the list of users and the version they are using

lmutil.exe lmstat -c @<host> -a

 

And then you can use functions like

lmutil.exe lmremove to remove users.

Excellent thank you this helps a lot. Note I could not figure it out with the standard instructions for FLEXlm, but this you tube video helped.

Also be sure to check out the documentation in "LicenseAdministration.pdf", which you'll find in the Documents subfolder of the Flexserver installation.
