License is lost
License is lost
(OP)
Hiya All,
Using Creo2. Have an issue where a few people seem to lose their floating license due to inactivity
Problem is that Creo is not releasing the license. Then if the user comes back to their workstation and attempts to do anything within Creo it seems they cannot regain the unreleased license.
I've preached to these guys not to leave Creo open if leaving for lunch, etc...
However, I would think that Creo should release the license fairly quickly - am I wrong?
Is there anything I can do to help the system along in releasing a license sooner?

RE: License is lost
It is in seconds that a license will remain connected with no activity. Set it for a shorter time, like 20 minutes.

Did the timeout work at one time?

These people are in China (Server is in Illinois, US)
I'm not really a Creo, Wildfire, etc... type of guy
I'm the network admin here and they've pawned this issue on over to me as they don't think it's a Creo issue
I've already set the NICs to ignore power options and to remain active
I've already set a FLEXLM_TIMEOUT (did this for AutoCAD a while back) and that works (for AutoCAD at least)
Below is the link to the issues they're showing me

It seems that is what they are really wanting
RE: License is lost
You could look at setting up license borrowing so that they are stand-alone. I think this removes the licenses from the overall pool for the duration given.
You could also flush the licenses and make them re-acquire the licenses.

3DDave - How would I go about setting that up. (flushing the licenses).
Now, here's the scenario
We have ONE license server here in the states and a 3 licenses dedicated for the 4 Chinese people (now they set that up, I don't know)
I've been shot down on the notion of getting a license server over there

Been shot down though (office politics...don't ask)
RE: License is lost
There is a PTCflush commnand that will flush all licenses and when the user needs one, it will take the next available license. Put the pTCflush in a batch file and have it run on some cycle, 1,2,4 hours, etc.
