Identify users who currently check out a floating license from the server

Is there a way to find out which users currently check out a floating license from the server? That would help to coordinate license usage in case all licenses are exhausted.

The Floating-License Server writes the IP address of the requesting computer to its log-file, whenever a floating license seat is granted/checkout.
If you know the IP-addresses of your colleague's computers you can then then derive from the server logs who is currently owning the used seats.

Thanks for your reply. I'm looking for a solution that does not require administrative access to the license server. Is there any way to do that, e.g. by publishing the information (or the entire log file) on the Browser Summary page?

The latest version of the Floating-License Server (FLS) can now display the IP addresses and hostnames of connected clients on its status website.

The Seats in use area can be unfolded to show that list and it will look similar to the following screenshot

This is an opt-in feature that has to be configured in the FLS' ini-file before its start. The documentation describes the details.

Please also note that enabling this feature could possibly be a employee data protection issue. Please contact your companies data protection supervisor for clarification.
