Gary, There was a bug in version 6.x where the last access time was not updated correctly as in never.
Autorefresh will lock a floating license to an individual. Folks were assigned floating licenses when they were at home. We turned off that option on views and hounded folks to remove it from macros. Once we got that under control we didn't have to buy another floating license for 3 years. ------Original Message------ From: Opela, Gary L CTR USAF AFMC 72 CS/SCBAH To: Arslist ReplyTo: Arslist Subject: Re: floating licenses Sent: Dec 17, 2008 9:14 AM I've seen floating write licenses that were still consumed after 48 hours, even though the last accessed time hadn't changed for 48 hours. I've had this problem before at a different place of employment.

I can take it back to Version 3. Version 6.x had a bug where the license didn't release at an hour. It was more like an hour an twenty minutes.

I am pretty sure the default behavior changed in approx 6.0 -- it used to be the case that you did not get a float until needed. I can see why the default changed -- however -- it seems as if it should be a parameter set at the server level. Either the whole system uses "aggressive float license/not" -John -- John ------Original Message Truncated------ Dave ------------------------- dave.shell...@tycoelectronics.com (Wireless)
