What we are doing over here is parsing the user.log file with Access. Works nicely so far. Yes, we don't really get how long a user has been connected, but what we can do is report a certain high load timeframe (typically when Europa and Nafta work together) and check which user has logged on at least once and get his license type. Based on that we can shift licenses to some degree. On top of that we log with a hidden form the timestamp when a user logs into the system (so we can remove the license for good if activity drops). I'm quite sure what with Misi's tool you can get most accurate data and I think it also makes the user form entry changes for you, if you want to. What I'm saying, the server statistics form is nice and we use that for getting a general overview ... for really optimizing license allocation, I can't think of any other way then checking each user (however you are going to do it). Very much like Axton says. Best greetings from Germany, Robert

I played with it last year at this time. I included a refrence to it in my presentation at User World last year. I ran data through it today. I'm making a comparison of his output against my own routines to provide some feedback to Misi.
