how to see list of license requests denied

[warren_scott]

We are currently using NI VLM 3.0 to manage our licenses.  What I want to do is get a listing of all the denied license requests (example -- what users tried to run LabVIEW simultaneously on two different computers with their named-user license).  This information does not seem to be in the activity log -- is there a way to have it included, or is there a different place to look?

Warren,
Can you find this information in the following file?

C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\License Manager\Data\lmgrd.log

That's pretty close to what I am looking for.  It will work for now, but it's got 2 shortcomings:

1) there is no date field in the entry (time only)

2) the file resets each time VLM restarts, so if you are trying to debug a problem that has gone on for a week or two, you are likely to not have the data you need (especially if you have been adding/deleting/changing stuff in VLM that requires you to restart, which is exactly what might be causing you to need to do some crazy debugging / analysis)
