Hi everyone: Thanks for all your input! - my timeout setting on floats is an hour. I believe I have a good understanding of how this works now.
Basically a user is issued a read until they try to do something requiring them to need a floating license. At that time Their status would say floating. If their last access time exceeds 1 hour - the float is released and their status is changed to Read(floating). >From that point if the user needs a float again they will obtain it or get an write error if none are available. Is that it in a nutshell? Thanks all.

If it is set for x number of hours, does the Last Access Time for those accounts reflect access time for more than the timeout setting? If so, it is working as designed. FYI: There is a quirky bug in the 6.3 Admin Tool, that is fixed in 6.3 patch 17. The Last Access Time does not display accurate data. This bug would inaccurately display Last Access Times from hours or even days ago. A lot of those accounts listed should have dropped off the list. I installed Admin Tool 6.3 patch 17 for another issue, and it indeed fixed the bug mentioned immediately above.

Why would this be happening? I would expect to see 0 unless floating licenses were at a max. There were times when only 6 out of 25 floats were in use and users were still issued reads(floating). We are running ar server 6.3 p16, SQL, mid tier 6.3 ws2k3 sp1. Using AR user floating and help desk floating licenses. thanks AC ________________________________________________________________________ _______ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at http://www.wwrug.org ________________________________________________________________________ _______ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at http://www.wwrug.org _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at http://www.wwrug.org
