One thing about Floating licenses....they aren't shared across multiple servers. Not unless you have a Server Group setup...and then in that case you treat the server group as a single server...and don't need to combine the user logs in order to get a single picture because the single server log should be exact across all servers. Are you in a Server Group? If not then you actually have a grand total of 100 per server and you wouldn't sum them to get a total

We're logging our users (creating ARUSER.LOG)on each of the 3 servers. Each of the 3 aruser.log files contain lines which include things like: FLOAT GRANT WRITE (9 of 100 write) FLOAT RELEASE (8 of 100 write) Meaning, I guess, that 9 of our 100 licences are currently consumed; then 8... Sometimes we get a line like: NO WRITE FREE ... when, presumably, all 100 licences have been taken. We merge this data from all 3 files and collect the data in an MS Access DB What's strange is that when we examine the number of licences consumed when we get the NO WRITE FREE message, it can exceed 100. E.g. the last line from Server A might say: (33 of 100 write) Server B .. (35 of 100 write) Server C .. (36 of 100 write) We're pretty sure that we *don't* get more licences than the number purchased, but wonder why the maths doesn't add up! Is ARUSER.LOG supposed to be an exact trace of licence checkout/checkin, or is it just a snapshot of some description? Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Can send more details off-list if anyone thinks they can help. Thanks.
