When running License Statistics, you may see something similar to the following in your FLEXlm debug log:

19:43:34 (MSC) OUT: "PATRAN" user1@address1
19:43:43 (MSC) IN: "PATRAN" user2@address2  (INACTIVE)
19:44:18 (MSC) Checkin failed feature "NASTRAN": root na5 /dev/tty
19:44:18 (MSC)  ""
19:44:18 (MSC) Checkin failed feature "NA_Dynamics": root na5 /dev/tty
19:44:18 (MSC)  ""
19:44:18 (MSC) Checkin failed feature "NA_Nonlinear": root na5 /dev/tty
19:44:18 (MSC)  ""
19:44:18 (MSC) Checkin failed feature "NA_Thermal": root na5 /dev/tty
19:44:18 (MSC)  ""
19:44:18 (MSC) Checkin failed feature "NA_DMAP": root na5 /dev/tty


During operation, License Statistics uses the lmdiag command to poll information from the license daemon. The error is due to bugs between lmdiag and lmgrd + vendor daemon, and not License Statistics itself.

To reproduce this, you can type:

lmdiag -n -c port@host

From our observations, this error does not appear to be harmful. The problem has been reported for FLEXlm versions between 8 and 10. More recent versions no longer seem to have this issue.

To fix the error, try downloading the latest version of lmutil from http://www.globes.com/support/fnp_utilities_download.htm and place it in the C:\xflicstat directory.  If this does not fix the problem, talk to your application vendor and get a fixed version of FLEXlm.
