I wrote this powershell script. It quries LMTools (used by autodesk, Tekla and may others for network seats.) Checks if all the seats (X) are in use, and if so sends an email with a list of all the computers with it open (we send it to supervisors, incase people are complaining about not being able to use it they know who's not really using it and can tell them to close it). It writes a text file when it's true, so on the next run it does not send an email again if the condition is still true. One it has been false it will delete the txt file and can then send an email again. I schedule it as a task every 30min. with the text file check in their it prevents them from getting an email every 30min. They only get an email when the full usage first happens each instance.
