How to Install SAMreport-Lite
To install SAMreport-Lite
1 Insert the Autodesk product CD into your CD-ROM drive.
2 On the Media Browser, click the Install tab.
3 Click Network Deployment.
4 On the Network Deployment tab, under Install Supplemental Tools,
click SAMreport-Lite 3.4.
5 Click Install, and follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE During installation of SAMreport-Lite, you will be asked for the location of
your license file. If you do not have a license file, follow the procedures in “How
to Obtain a License File” on page 2 to obtain one.
How to Create and Set Up an Options File
To use SAMreport-Lite, you must configure your license server(s) to generate
report logs. In the Network License Manager, you set up an Options file to
enable SAMreport-Lite to create report logs.
NOTE Complete instructions for setting up an Options file are located in the
Autodesk Network Licensing Guide. You can access the guide from your product's
Media Browser or in the Help system.
To create and set up an Options file
1 In a text editor, create a file called adskflex.opt.
2 In the adskflex.opt file, enter the following syntax on a single line:
REPORTLOG [+] report_log_path
REPORTLOG must be uppercase, as shown.
In the REPORTLOG syntax, “[+]” means that entries to the log file you
create are appended rather than replaced each time the Network License

Manager is restarted. (It is recommended that you use this option so that
you retain a history of log entries.)
Path names that contain spaces must be enclosed in quotation marks.
For example, the syntax REPORTLOG + “c:\My Documents\report.rl” means
that a report log named report.rl is located in the folder c:\My Documents.
3 Save the adskflex.opt file to the same location where your license file
exists.
4 Stop and then restart the Network License Manager.
How to Use SAMreport-Lite
To use SAMreport-Lite to generate a report
1 Click Start menu (Windows) ➤ All Programs (or Programs) ➤
SAMreport ➤ SAMreport.
2 In the SAMreport-Lite window, click the Browse button.
3 In the Report Log dialog box, locate and specify your report log file.
By default, the Report Log dialog box lists only files named with a .rl file
name extension. If your report log file has a different extension, such as
.log, open the Files of Type list and select All Files to list all the files.
4 In the SAMreport-Lite window, in the Output File box, specify the folder
location and file name for your report output files.
You do not need to specify the file name extension; the extension is
automatically added to the name you supply based on the output formats
you select. For example, if you select HTML and Text output formats
and specify c:\my documents\report in Output File, the following report
files are generated:
c:\my documents\report.html
c:\my documents\report.txt
NOTE Be sure to specify the full path name for your output files. If you don't,
output files are written to the current working directory, which may be the
Windows desktop. Specifying a full path name ensures that your report files
are saved in the folder you choose.
5 On the Report menu, click Generate.
6 The report you specified is generated.
For more information about generating reports, see “Basics of Generating a
Report” on page 11 and “Usage Summary Report” on page 15.
