We have 5 licenses that are being shared by 10 different people.

The timeout setting is too short, how do I increase the time so people don't lose the license when they are idle for a few minutes?

John,

I use "older" version of FLEXnet (10.8.x) on license server in combination with Creo Parametric 2.0 on client machines. I installed it using ProE WF5 installation package. The installation created FLEXlm server for PTC service. The service starts two lmgrd.exe and one ptc_d.exe processes.

FLEXLM_LOADPOINT\licensing\license.dat file

This file must contain line similar to this...

DAEMON ptc_d D:\PTC\flexnet\x86e_win64\obj\ptc_d.exe D:\PTC\flexnet\licensing\ptc.opt

FLEXLM_LOADPOINT\licensing\ptc.opt file

---

This file contains the following line (by default):

TIMEOUTALL 7200

---

This means that all licenses have the timeout 7200 seconds. Default minimum is 1200 s (it is not allowed to set lower value).

Hello Martin,

can i ask you if setting timeout works for both license (for example Creo Parametric) and extensions (for example PIPING)? i mean, if an extension goes timeout will it be possible to obtain again?

thanks

Regain of license depends on availability. If a license returns to server due to timeout and if that license consumed by other user, there will not be any license available for first user.
