and got several fast responses. Thank you all for those!
-> If licenses are managed by "flexlm", then there should be a log-file
somewhere (typically flexlm.log) with the relevant information.
(Obviously i have a problem there: i can't find such a logfile here...)
-> On the other hand the unix accounting (try "apropos account")
could be used for my purpose - if accounting is on...
I erroneously thought, that this way i could only get information
about cpu-, disk- and printer-usage, but obviously something like
"sa -a" gives more and different informations.

I will try that soon...
Be welcome in this happy New Year and have a nice weekend!
