1839.0. "Sever based license timeout parameter" by ALFSS2::JONES_J () Tue Apr 29 1997 15:37

    I have a customer who uses server based licenses.  The customer is
    telling me that once a client obtains a license it is never released. 
    I have tested this function and at first agreed with the customer. 
    Then about 5 to 10 minutes later I saw that the license was released.
    
    # lmf list
    PWLMOSFCU05.00            active                            250       1
    
    #lmf list
    PWLMOSFCU05.00            active                            250       0
    
    Can the license timeout time be changed in any configuration file?

What type of clients are they?   What version of Pathworks?   The license should be 
released as soon as the client disconnects.  If it's an NT workstation that's establishing
duplicate sessions, I've noticed that the "guest" session will hang around idle for 10 minutes.  
It will go away after 10 minutes, release it's license and then show up again, claiming
another license.  Unless your watching your sessions continually, it would appear
that the license was never released.   See note 1830 for the duplicate session problem.

1839.2Server based licenses not being released.ALFSS2::JONES_JWed Apr 30 1997 14:3312
    Hi Julia,
    
    	All the clients are NT 3.51 or 4.0 workstations.  Yes they see
    duplicate sessions and this is chewing up server based licenses.
    	Also on my 6.1a server it takes 3 to 4 minutes for the server based
    license to release.  The session is gone immediatly but the lmf list
    shows the license consumed for 3 to 4 minutes.  I was using and Win95
    client.
