I've created a stand alone app to display information about an installed floating license server. It currently reports the serial number and the maximum number of floating licenses supported by the license server.

I would like to enable a listing of the clients currently using licenses from the server. I'm not quite sure how to go about getting a reference to the LicenseServer() class associated with the running license server. If I do get this, the List<FloatingLicense> property (_activeLicenses) does not seem to have a public interface. Would there be any issue with adding a property to the class to expose this?

No I don't see any issue with adding such a property. You would need to add it to the ILicenseServre interface and implement it in the LicenseServer class). The compile and run the server with metadata.HttpGetEnabled temporarily set to true (in OnStart) then you will be able to use the Update Service Reference menu in the client application project to update the the License proxy.

Thanks. Any tips on how to get a reference to the running license service?

[Infralution]

Yes as above you need to set metadata.HttpGetEnabled to true in OnStart. Then run the server (easiest just to run from the command line with the /r argument). You should then be able to open the client application project right click on the LicenseService reference (under Service References) and select Update Service Reference.
