We use lmutil to get program usage data using our monitoring software on out other licensed software.
I see posts from 2009 saying it is available but we do not have a copy of it with our NI license files.
Was it removed? Is there a compatible version of it that is available?
Is there a way for a separate program to get current license usage for the NI programs via the VLM?

I guess lmutil is part of FLEXlm (that what google search returned), in that case you need the FLEXlm version of VLM instead of NI's own VLM.

NI's version is based on FlexLM, although I'm pretty sure they use an older version than what Flexera (the final owner of FlexLM) currently sells.
But a lot of the infrastructure around the FlexLM core is NI proprietary and I kind of doubt that standard FlexLM tools will still simply work with it.

I have not been able to get a verification from NI support that the command I need is part of their LM package.
Finding them very unuseful.
