To Create a Report Log in the Options File

How to create a report on network license usage.

The report log file is a compressed, encrypted file that provides usage reports on license activity.

  1. In a text editor, open the options file, adskflex.opt.
  2. In the options file, enter the following syntax on its own line (REPORTLOG must be uppercase):

    REPORTLOG [+]report_log_path

    • Windows example: REPORTLOG +"C:\My Documents\report.rl" means that a report log named report.rl is located in the folder C:\My Documents.
    • Mac OS X or Linux example: REPORTLOG +"/Users/<user id>/NLM/report.rl" means that a report log named report.rl is located in the folder /Users/<user id>/NLM.
    Note: Path names that contain spaces must be enclosed in quotation marks.

    In the REPORTLOG syntax, “[+]” means that new entries to the log file are appended to previous entries rather than overwriting them each time the Network License Manager is restarted. It is recommended that you use this option to retain a history of log entries.
