Michael:
 
When I worked for a company that did Health checks on Networker, I went out 
once with someone who was supposed to be a heavyweight and watch him enter 
command after command to try to get a picture of the environment. And one of 
the most confusing things even back then, was how many licenses they had and 
how many were available and for what, so I guess little has changed. I ended up 
with a few commands and rolled the output into a spreadsheet. It made it much 
easier.
 
Unfortunately, I live at the NJ shore and my house was wiped with 2 feet of 
water and mud, so I lost many of my manuals and the rest, including my 
Networker manual, is somewhere in a storage locker, but as I recall there was a 
command to see licensing statistics.
