You can probably see the license usage in the form of a lock.

Use ANALYZE/SYSTEM and issue the command SDA> SHOW PROCESS/LOCK/INDEX=<iiii>,
where iiii is the process index as displayed in SDA> SHOW SUMMARY.

Look for interactive processes that have a lock taken out against the 
resource name LMF$_VAX-VMS.
