Hi,

I have the Baan server on the network. Then can I run the licmon from a client machine and see the output on the client machine ? If yes, How to do it ?

Hi,

You can create a batch (windows environment) to run licmon from a client machine. This batch must contain environment variable BSE and path to the application.

Example to run licmon from my Workstation:

Set BSE=\\Baanserv\Drivef\Baan
\\baanserv\Dirivef\Baan\bin\licmon.exe

I tried this, it gives a message

licmon : current user is not a valid baan user
licmon : Unable to initialize user settings

On my workstation, the user of the windows session (on the domain) and the password are the same as the user on the BaaN Server.
If the user and password are not the same, you must first open a session on the Baan Server.
:)

You can try to run any server based program using psexec.exe

This great utility can be downloaded from http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/PsExec.html

The syntax for running licmon is something like this

psexec \\baan4c d:\baan4c\bin\licmon -w

(baan4c is name of machine)

Hope it helps!

Hai rita,
You can do this step :
1. You share dictionary folder HOME{BSE}\
2. Give authorization for Ur self
3. Then You do it mapping from ur computer for share folder
4. open command promp
5. open mapping for example j:
6. then create licmon.

this step for windows.
i hope this step can help u

Hi Rita,

I am assuming your client has M$ systems.

Copy licmon.exe to client machine.

Create a batch file called licmon.bat. Contents are :

@echo off
cls
licmon.exe -h servername -w | sort
licmon.exe -h servername -u
pause
licmon.bat

And run batch file. It should work. If you are using older version of M$, you have to set environment varibales in autoexec.bat file.

Hope this helps.

Hi Mr Suhas-mahajan

Hi Mr Roland

What do you mean by create licmon

Hai rita,
sorry i am wrong said.
i mean is you only call licmon.exe from client like this for example :
before u must mapping folder baan in client computer after that you call licmon from command prompt like this :
d:\cd bin
d:\bin\licmon
connected with <your name server>
licmon>

i hope u understand.

Hi Rita,

M$ is MicroSoft.

I learned this word here only.
