->Can of worms<- ok...now it's open....here is the skinny on it...forget about Fixed, those are assigned to an individual and not usable by anyone other than them, so you don't need to worry about when they are in use or not. Floating: * On the timeout tab of server configuration there is a section labeled 'Floating License Timeout (hours)'. * This defaults to 2, but can be set as low as 1, but no lower. * This timeout value starts ticking when they 'stop' using the license....it's allocated to them for a full hour after they stop using it, unless they log out, then it's put back in the pool immediately. * A floating license is allocated as soon as they 'need' it, but that 'need' may be just searching on a form, not necessarily when they try to modify something that needs a license * As long as they are actively doing things in the system the license will be allocated to them, the timer restarts at 0 each time they go idle
_____ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Friday, October 09, 2009 8:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Licensing questions.... ** I'm trying to better understand how licenses work and have gone through the chapter in the configuration guide on licenses but didn't find/may have missed(?) this information. I've been told that when a user acquires a license - either fixed or floating - the time clock starts.. I've also been told that there is a 1 hour "hold" on the license before it's put back into the pool and becomes available for reuse again. Questions: Can the user "hang onto" the license that they get as long as they're logged in or is there an option to "time them out" and log them off? Does the 1 hour "reservation clock" start when the user logs into the application or does it start when they log out and in essence is a "continue to reserve for this user" time period. Is that 1 hour time period configurable so that licenses can go back to the pool sooner? Where can I read about all of this type of stuff - the master index was not too helpful and the config. manual didn't say anything about how the licenses operate.
