My question is is there any way we can release the user
Hi Amanullah,
Have you tried to evaluate your current license usage with the free
test-version of RRR|License? In the typical situation, you can free up
about 20-30% of your floating licenses just by assigning them to the right
person!
I definitely think that you need to be an administrator to

You could try setting the value in the ar.cfg file to .5 (lowest

You cannot do that through the interface though.

Environment
App Server - Windows 2003 64bit - hardened by security team
DB Server - Windows 2003 64bit with MS SQL
The Windows version of ARS is a 32 bit application and requires 32 bit database
clients to connect to the database (the installer uses JDBC rather than the
native db client). Double check that you have the 32 bit db client files on
the arserver machine. Also try the -t option on the

had to do with a group domain policy that prevented the domain from caching

The license timeout cannot be set lower than one hour. Therefore, this is not
news. ;-)
From the Configuring Guide, License-Timeout is: The number of hours the AR

Also, it would be in your best interests to upgrade/migrate to a later version
