Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

^ What it says, I’d like to see stats of our P3 license use. We have 15 licenses and we’re pretty sure we don’t need as many. Can I extract a log from anywhere to see how many are actually in use and when peak peiods etc are? I can understand that this would not be in the developer’s interests, but it sure would be in mine...

Cheers

if Pervasive SQL is installed, the login history may available.

Alternative, how about do it from server admin side, a log file who access P3 licence file?

I’m not aware of any log of users. However, get everyone who might use P3 to log on, then hit F5 (= ’View’,’Current Users’).
You should see all the user’s names and the project they are using.
If no one shouts that they cannot get a licence number when logging on then you are not getting 16 users trying!

You could try removing, say, 2 licences at a time and see how many you get down to before some one gets shut out. Then add 2 back in and you should be safe.

However, why bother? You can’t sell back the ones you don’t need! Might save on maintenance charges though.
