Perfect - thanks Wyatt!
TurboFloat list of current usersAnswered
I've had this same request twice within the last week - it would be nice to be able to throw up a list of current leases. One customer wanted purely to monitor their usage to ensure they had enough seats, one only had one floating seat but needed to know who to politely ask to vacate their seat.
I figure I can write something to parse the server log file, but it would be nice to be able to make this available from within our client software itself - is it something you could include in future versions via a function call? (I could also specify the log file to be in an accessible location and do it that way, but that's much less convenient)

Hey Richard,
This is something we're planning in 2 forms. First in LicenseChest (via hosted TFS instances). Customers will be able to see exactly which leases are in use in real-time.
Coming after LicenseChest is another library (similar to TurboFloat and included in your LimeLM plan) that will allow you to query exactly which leases a TFS instance has which leases.
I've written a vb.net tool to read tfs-log.txt and display current leases. Send an email to support xlrotor.com for a copy. However, it will need a fair bit of modifying to work for you.
