Time Session for acquired floating contributor license
Hi,
Does anyone know how long is time session when user with acquired floating contributor license is no longer active? Is there any way to set it manually, or some period is assigned by default? Thanks, |

Perhaps this is what you're looking for: There is a property under
Server -> Advanced properties -> com.ibm.team.repository.service.internal.license.FloatingLicenseService License checkout time: 7200 The description for this property is " The amount of time (in seconds) that a checkedot license lives before it expires" and can be set to anything above 7200 seconds. There is also another property under Server -> Advanced properties -> com.ibm.team.repository.service.internal.license.LicenseService Floating license refresh rate (in ms): 600000 Freddy On 17/07/2010 2:08 AM, milan.krivic wrote: Hi, |

The time-out for a floating license is not something you can modify.
As I recall, the time-out period is 30 minutes (but I'm not positive about that). There are two reasons for not having a shorter timeout: - If the timeout is shorter, the license server would need to be hit more often for each user, which could be a performance bottleneck. - If the timeout is shorter, fewer licenses would be used, so the cost/license would need to be increased (somebody has to pay all those IBM programmers to build this cool stuff :-).

Correction based on Freddy's post ... the time-out period appears to be
2 hours. And as Freddy points out, you are allowed to increase that timeout, to further decrease the load on the licensing server. Cheers, Geoff On 7/16/2010 6:38 PM, Geoffrey Clemm wrote: The time-out for a floating license is not something you can modify. |
So, is it or is it not possible to Decrease the time out setting for a floating license? We need to decrease it so that more folks can use the system. Thanks

I am viewing the list of users currently signed on to RTC, using Floating Licenses. When a user signs off, how long (if at all) is it before the license server releases the license that one user is using and makes it available to another user? If you log on and then quickly logoff (any session less than 120 minutes) does the license server automatically tie up that license for 120 minutes? If anyone has any insight into how the licenses are distributed, that information would greatly be appreciated. Thanks

As stated previously in this thread, the cost of a floating license is
based on the number of users that can use that license, so to decrease the time out setting, we would need to increase the cost of a license. Or stated in other words, to increase the number of folks that can use the system, you need to buy more licenses.

That is correct. This ensures that at most 12 users can share a
floating license per day, and the floating license price is based on that degree of sharing. Cheers, Geoff On 8/18/2010 2:52 PM, JaxJaguar wrote: I am viewing the list of users currently signed on to RTC, using |
