SYMPTOMS

When a software metering server is not available and the online client switches to the next available server, the original license still remains in use. An additional license is allocated on the second, available server, and it is this server that releases the license when the product is closed. The first server still responds as if the license is in use long after the system has re-established contact.

STATUS
