Troubleshooting
Problem
My License Manager is configured to generate a usage log file. How do I use this file to analyze license usage of my concurrent/network clients?
Resolving The Problem
The following provides a process for converting a License Manager usage log file to a SPSS Statistics data file that can be used for analysis.
It is not necessary for the files to be located in 'C:\LM_LOG'.
However, the 'Log_File_To_Statistics_Data.sps' file assumes this is the location.
If a location other than 'C:\LM_LOG' is used, change the location of the 'slm_log.txt' file indicated in the following syntax command in the 'Log_File_To_Statistics_Data.sps' file:
/FILE="C:\LM_LOG\slm_log.txt"
- Create the following directory: C:\LM_LOG
- Save attached syntax file 'Log_File_To_Statistics_Data.sps' (below) to C:\LM_LOG.
- Acquire location and name of License Manager usage log file (example: slm_log.txt).
- Copy the License Manager usage log file to log file conversion directory C:\LM_LOG.
- IF usage log file is not named 'slm_log.txt' change the file name to 'slm_log.txt'
- IF the location of the
