Somewhere in the past, selectserver used to limit usage. This was awesome! It kept us in compliance and kept our rep from calling. But maybe all good things do come to an end. Our users need to experience denial. Maybe version 9 of selectserver will bring back some of the license management functionality we crave. I want my license manager (selectserver) to do more than monitor and report. Pooled and Trust Licensing are failing us.
Anyone have any info on this topic?
thanks
Trust Licensing is built upon the premise that licensing should not interrupt the legitimate user from getting his work done. Isn't that the real objective here - to optimize the effective use of the software in order to get work done? When a licensing mechanism gets so focused on enforcing a usage cap, it gets in the way of this effective use. So we redesigned our licensing paradigm to intentionally eliminate interruption to the user, even if it came at the expense of just letting the application run, whether there is a license available or not.
Take a look at this thread.

No. As I mentioned time is converted to UTC time. If you and your colleague run the software within the same hour in different time zones (let's say one usage is from 8:05 am to 8:15 am GMT and the other one is from 10:30 am to 10:40 am GMT+2, in reality usages are 15 minutes apart), after conversion usage times will fall into the same UTC hour (which is in this case 8:00 am 9:00 am UTC) making peak usage equal to 2.
