License data within processing

Is it possible from within processing to ascertain the number of 
licensed users and the number  of consumed licenses at the moment?

My memory must be failing ... I thought it was but I can't find the
commands/technique anywhere.

Situation: I rarely do a 'system' call to a filePro process because it eats
a license (brings up locking issues, user forgets where they are ....etc.). 

However, I got a situation where SYSTEM is required. I'd like to pre-check
that there's "room" on the license before running the 'system "dclerk ...'
command ... to avoid the license error.

TIA,
