Description

The lmstat output is missing ID label for floating licenses. As a work around
we now apply the asset_info string from the license.dat file as well.

Note that we can only correctly identify asset info if there is a single
"floating" FEATURE/INCREMENT for each license. Otherwise there is no way
to determine which should be matched based on lmstat output..

This update also fixes the problem with license status files given a future
timestamp.

Supersedes Patch Description

Patch 673 — Fixed the check out Date issue and the Number of Licenses issue in LUM
The problem in parsing the date format with AM/PM has been fixed now.
Added  server-name in the configuration, to get the correct licenses for the corresponding product.
Patch 667 — licpoll fix: Wrong number of features
License collection with licpoll sometimes gave wrong number of licenses.
This has now been improved.
Patch 656 — licpoll with asset info
Collection of asset info from license.dat and lmutil output.
Patch 650 — Added support for getting usage from Exceed License manager
This patch supports the collection of license usage from the Exceed on Demand License server.

The user has to copy the binary for ecsinfo into /opt/openit/bin/, or make a link from
/opt/openit/bin/ecsinfo to the binary.
Patch 640 — Licpoll fails to collect data if first collection falls in "grace" period
Licpoll starts slightly before the hour (30 seconds). When collection period and offset 
where set so a valid polling could occur in this interval licpoll collected one polling and
stopped (this occurs e.g with polling interval of 60 seconds and offset 40 second).

Now licpoll will always correctly wait until the start of the hour before starting with the first
polling.

For uncounted licenses we now set "available licenses" to max int (2147483647)
instead of 1

Fixed problem with recognizing Arbortext License Manager (Elan) output.
Patch 615 — Fix licpoll not picking up host name from RLM license file
This patch fixes a bug in licpoll, due to which licpoll was not writing host name to licpoll data
file.

The x86_64 binary is recompiled to work with the libraries on RHEL3.
Patch 606 — Fixes parsing error in licpoll
This patch several bugfixes:

1. a bug in licpoll that caused it to crash when encountering a 
   specific error message from the FLEXlm server in the lmstat output.
   Sometimes when lmstat stops with the following error message:

     The desired vendor daemon is down. (-97,121)

   licpoll would crash

2. licpoll would hang when encountering unexpected RLM status
   output

3. licpoll did not add the "server-name" value when writing
   output of status data for License Monitor

4. when parsing FLEXlm output with multiple feature versions the
   License Monitor status file give all feature versions the
   combined avaialble licenses

5. Error checking on copy function is improved. This may solve some
   problems with bad disks.

NOTE: These problems are not fixed on HPUX due to compilation
problems.
Patch 602 — Fixes two bugs in licpoll (crash and server-name output for License Monitor)
This patch several bugfixes:

1. a bug in licpoll that caused it to crash when encountering a 
   specific error message from the FLEXlm server in the lmstat output.
   Sometimes when lmstat stops with the following error message:

     The desired vendor daemon is down. (-97,121)

   licpoll would crash

2. licpoll would hang when encountering unexpected RLM status
   output

3. licpoll did not add the "server-name" value when writing
   output of status data for License Monitor

4. when parsing FLEXlm output with multiple feature versions the
   License Monitor status file give all feature versions the
   combined avaialble licenses
