Monitoring FLEXnet License Manager

[Anna Jonna Armannsdottir]

Would anybody be willing to 
share their experience in 
monitoring LEXnet License Manager 
with Hobbit? 

I have been doing that, by simply 
monitoring the network port of the 
service, and users complain that 
it is not enough. Allegedly, it 
seems to continue to listen to the 
assigned ports, but stops handing out
Matlab (...) licenses to the users. 

For those that have absolutely no
idea of what I am talking about, 
this is a license manager, that 
among other things, is used for 
Matlab, Abacus, Maple and other 
engineering software. It runs 
as a network daemon, usually 
on port 27000 or close to that. 

So before I start rummaging in the 
shire, and reviving the dead cat, 
I would like to know if anybody would 
share their experience on the subject?
