I'm writing some very simple software to query our license manager for the status of licenses. "lmutil lmstat -c -a" provides pretty much exactly what I need, and my software presently shells out, runs that command, and parses the output. However, I'd really prefer a more elegant solution (I hate parsing text!). For example, I'd prefer to be making the same calls to the server as "lmutil" is in this case. If "lmutil" is operating against a web service, I'd MUCH prefer to do the same, especially if the interaction is via SOAP or JSON. Is there any kind of API or WSDL available? Do we have to do anything on the server to allow this kind of interaction?
