Limiting users to one license

[davehaigh]

You can limit users to one license. You have to do it in the ptc.opt file.

From my ProE admin 101 talk from PTCUser 2010:

Appendices’ – Licensing Options File
• You can use the options file to limit users to running one copy of ProE at a time.

Tell me if I am wrong but I think if you have two different licenses they could still open one license of each. Therefore two licenses opened by one user at the same time.

The example I gave reserved licenses for a group. However tpi 129441 shows how to reserve only one license for each individual user.

Hi there,

I have a problem about floating license after internet connection lost, after losting license on that computer, and wanting to re-run Creo on it, I get the message of maximum number of users already reached .. even if not any session of Creo is running.

I think I have to release (in some way) the license, so, how can I do that?, thanks very much!.

Thanks, I solved the problem by using batch files already included ... ptcstatus and ptcflush.

Thanks again.
