ADE Licence Management

Xegotronix
Xegotronix over 14 years ago
I am looking for a way to manage our ADE licence such that it is released once user A is done with his task and user B can grab the licence without waiting for user A to manually checkin the licence. Is there an environment variable that I can set using the envSetVal("asimenv[.partition]" "variable" 'datatype value) command format in my .cdsinit and not worry about licence sharing anymore? I understand this may slow down the ADE environment, but I can live with that.

    Hi Yaser,

    The documentation covers this, here's a link to the relevant information: Specifying License Timeouts

     Specifically there is a section that talks about the TIMEOUT option:

    Timing Out Idle Licenses

    To have products return their licenses to the license pool when they are idle, add a TIMEOUT line to the options file.
    ...
    If your product supports TIMEOUT, you can set a maximum amount of time (in seconds) that a license can remain inactive.
        TIMEOUT feature seconds
    

     

    I hope that this helps you.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
