Re: Read (floating) license

Title: Read (floating) license

** As always with licensing it’s somewhat vague, but my experience has been this:   When a user with a Floating license assigned to them logs in, they show up in the User License list as Read(floating) immediately.   -If they sit there without doing anything, they disappear from the User License list after a short time (5-10 min) -If they open a form (in ANY mode), they are then listed as Floating. -If they log out, they disappear from the User License (no matter how they were listed before) -If they are listed as floating and don’t take any action for 1 hour, they revert to Read(floating), and shortly thereafter disappear from the list.   As far as floating license token allocation, I tested our system with 10 licenses, and found: -There could be more than 10 users marked as Read(floating) with no problems. -When users opened any form, in query or submit mode, they changed to Floating (and took a floating token) -Once there were 10 users marked Floating, then other users remained marked as Read(floating) when quering or submitting. -Users marked as Read(floating) could not Modify while there were 10 others marked Floating. -When someone logged out, the next Read(floating) user to perform an action (query, submit, or modify) was changed to Floating.     -Aaron * Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Cleereman (IT) Sent: Monday, September 25, 2006 11:40 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Read (floating) license   Hi All, We're using ARServer 6.3, Patch 17. I'm using Manage User Licenses from the Admin Tool, with the following options:      License Category: Server      Category: Current Licenses      License Type: Floating I was seeing the following:      Floating - 10 users      Read (floating) - 2 users Another user who is assigned a Floating license just logged in, and I am now seeing      Floating - 10 users      Read (floating) - 3 users I've double-checked our server licensing, and we have 25 AR User Floating Licenses. I have the feeling I should know this, but it's a Monday, and I'm not seeing it in the help file or my Admin Guide. Does anyone know why 3 of the users are showing a "Read (floating)" instead of "Floating", when we should have 15 unused AR User Floating licenses remaining?
