Re: [U2] [UV] Locked License Seat {unclassified}
Dan, I had a look around with procexp (and isn't it a nice wee app indeed!) but couldn't see anything that matched the locked up PID. Could be my inexperience with the app though as it does produce a lot of very detailed info. Anyway, we had a server reboot scheduled for the weekend so I decided to wait and see if that would tidy things up and it did! I find it interesting that uvlictool and stopping the UniVerse services couldn't shift a locked up UniVerse lic but a server reboot did. That points to a rogue process holding the license but it can't seen using tasklist or procexp.exe. Anyway, problem solved until next time :-) Thanks Dan, Daniel and Jeff for your suggestions and help.

Re: [U2] [UV] Locked License Seat {unclassified}
Do you have any rogue cmd.exe processes running on the server? One of the most common causes we've seen for stuck licenses is that the uv session launched a DOS /c command line process that was somehow problematic. Killing the uv process was not enough, the cmd.exe process it launched had to be zapped as well, only then would the uvlictool free up the license.

Sorry. I just noticed this was a windows server and I gave you *nix syntax. I didn't scroll down far enough.

Microsoft has a tool called procexp.exe that shows a process and all its children processes attached to it. Using this tool you can kill the parent and the child processes.

Re: [U2] [UV] Locked License Seat {unclassified}
Thanks for the help Dan. I did have a few rouge cmd.exe processes but cleaning them up didn't tidy up this license problem :( I will bear this wee trick in mind though, as I have had other problems that this could have solved. :) Andy -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Daniel Perttula Sent: Thursday, 30 July 2009 1:47 a.m. To: 'U2 Users List' Subject: Re: [U2] [UV] Locked License Seat {unclassified} Do you have any rogue cmd.exe processes running on the server?
