plugin works, but you have to include the bug on the code. It's working for me on Nagios 4.2 with perl installed, lmutil and a yum -y install redhat-lsb to solve error from /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory when you run lmutil from the bash.

Thanks for the plugin
I ran into an issue where if one vendor was down, any feature even with a different vendor would fail. So I added an argument to take in the vendor name as well:

Usage: perl check_flexlm_perf_data.plx -H hostname [-p port] [-f feature] [-S vendor] [-w %warning]

$feature = $arg_hash{"-f"} if ($_ eq "-f");
> $vendor = $arg_hash{"-S"} if ($_ eq "-S");
140,141c142,143
$lmstat_output = `$path_to_lmutil lmstat -f $feature -S $vendor -c $port\@$server`; # Get output of lmstat for $vendor_daemon only

> # We're looking for a feature and it's not there
> $output = "FLEXlm CRITICAL: License Server for $vendor not available.\n";
If used, for example, like this ...

/tmp/check_flexlm_perf_data -H assdlic01 -p 1055 -f aa_r_cfdd -w 80

and the specified feature doesn't exist the plugin returns OK (0% of 0 licences used). The patch below treats a missing feature as a critical error.

You might get an error like:
check_flexlm_perf_data.plx: Possible unintended interpolation of @omega in string at ./check_flexlm_perf_data.plx line 61.
To fix this change line 86 from:
Luca.sassone@omega-sistemi.it
to
Luca.sassone@omega-sistemi.it



There is another bug in the script
99c99
< if ((@ARGV > 6)||(@ARGV eq "0"))
---
> if ((@ARGV > 8)||(@ARGV eq "0"))

ARGV has to be 8 instead of 6 if you use all parameters, like:
-H HOST -p PORT -f LIC -w WARN
