Hi,

could somebody explain on which basis an acquired floating license is
prolonged / returned?

On a simple test I found out that it is prolonged after "some
amount of minutes" and it didn't seem to matter what operations
I was doing (opening dashboard, running queries, ...). The name of
the last operation in the list of acquired licenses in the
administration are didn't seem to be correct.

We also found that the license is not returned when a user logs out of
the system.

Detailed explanation would be appreciated.

JS

My understanding is that the server makes no attempt to keep track of
who is "logged in" ... it just knows when a client contacts the server
with a request. And once you have a floating license, that license is
logically renewed each time you perform any operation. I say "logically
renewed" because there is caching of that license information, so the
license server is not hit with every operation request, but only when
the license cache "expires".

Cheers,
Geoff
