The Configuration variable MS_IDLETIMEOUT help to shut down Microstation and any other software's like MXRoad, InRoads, with Microstation as the CAD engine, after the software is idle for a give time period.
To set the configuration variable, following are the steps:
1. From the CAD menu, go to "Workspace > Configuration".
2. From the 'Configuration' dialog box, browse for the MS_IDLETIMEOUT variable.
3. Hit the 'Edit' button, in the 'New Value' field type the desired time. Minimum value is 30 minutes. A value of 0 means never exit, even when idle.
If you set the value as 30 minutes, after 30 minutes the software will automatically exit and release the license. Thus limits the license usage.
