Floating licenses: terminating a session after a crash?
Posted: Mon Sep 23, 2019 8:39 am
Hello community,
I was wondering if there is a way to manually terminate a session after a software crash if you are using a floating license?
We have a floating license for Lingo, and at the moment we have a problem that causes the program to crash pretty frequently. I filed a bug report for the problem, but in the meantime, I see this quite a lot: Apparently, the crash does not terminate the current session - which means that after every crash it takes several minutes until the (crashed) session times out and I can restart Lingo. I don’t see any leftover processes in the task manager that I could terminate, but maybe I just don’t know what to look for. Even a restart does not seem to speed up the process.
Do you have any ideas what I could do? It's very cumbersome to work like this.
I posted this here instead of the Lingo forum, because I think that this probably works the same way for Flare. I am pretty happy right now that we have single-user licenses for Flare instead of floating licenses...
