Querying license usage -- web interface the only way?

Hey guys,

Is the web interface the only way to query license usage?
I did a quick search here, and the latest post I saw regarding this issue was from 2011 -- just curious to hear if there’s been an update.

It would be *extremely* helpful if there was a command line utility that directly queried the VRLService for license usage and dumped a report to stdout. Is this a viable feature request?

(Personally, I find the website a little confusing, and a little inconsistent w.r.t. how vray 2 and vray 3 usage is reported, in terms of actually parsing the generated page for information).

Thanks!

Hi,

Unfortunately the web interface is currently the only way to check the license status.

I thought I replied to this, but apparently not :confused: For the next revision of the license servers, we plan to have something like a JSON or XML format that returns the license usage. It will still work through a web connection though.

Best regards,
