Generate a Usage Summary Report
Using SAMreport-Lite
™
you can generate a network license-usage report,
called Usage Summary, for Autodesk
®
software that uses FLEXlm
®
licensing
technology.
To generate a Usage Summary report from the SAMreport-Lite interface
1
Start SAMreport-Lite.
2
Select Usage Summary from the Report Type list.
3
Specify one or more report log files.
4
Using one of the following two methods, specify the location of each of
the report logs you want to run with SAMreport-Lite.
■
Type the path to the report log in the text field to the right of the
Browse button. Press Enter. Repeat this process for each report log
that you want to add.
■
Click the Browse button and use the report log file browser to select
a report log from your system. Double-click the report log file. You
can repeat this process to select more than one report log from the
browser.
After you select a report log, the report log file name appears in the text
box above the Remove button. To remove a report log from the list, click
to highlight the report log, then click the Remove button.
There is no fixed limit on the size of a report log that you run through
SAMreport-Lite, but the execution time of a report is proportional to the
amount of report log data that is processed.
5
Specify an output format and/or an output file name base.
A Usage Summary report is displayed on the screen from a file. Therefore,
if you want to display a Usage Summary report on the screen, you must
specify an output file format and output file name base.
Unavailable output formats are grayed out. All reports written to files
require an output file name base and at least one output format selection.
The file name base can be entered using one of two methods:
■
Type the path and file name base in the text field to the right of the
Output File button. If no path is specified, the files are written to the
current working directory.
■
Click the Output File button to open a file selection browser. Find
and double-click the directory in which you want to save the output
