HC79405: LICENSE: MANAGING LICENSES REQUIRES RELOAD OF DMU MODEL

APAR status

• Closed as suggestion for future release.

Error description

• Environment:
  UNIX -SGI- LUM server
  Win NT 4.0 SP6a Clients
  Catia V4 SP3
  LUM 4.5.8
  .
  Problem Description:
  With a LUM license server environment, get:
  1. 2 licenses for HD2 modules.
  2. 1 flotting license for Space Analysis : SPA
  3. Log on with user A on a machine select the license HD2
     and SPA. Restart Catia to take license HD2 and SPA in
     consideration.
  4. Log on a different machine with user B and select HD2
     only.
  5. Load a 30 minutes DMU model
  6. Select SPA, because you need to do one dynamic
     sectionning (exemple).
  7. You must restart Catia V5 to take SPA in
     consideration. So exit and Restart.
  8. User B now relises that License SPA is not available,
     and he has to reload his 30 minutes model...
  
  Conclusion: In an Industrial environment, licenses must
  be managed dynamically, most products work this way (even
  Catia V4).
  Today, all licenses are checked only once when the
  session is starting and it is impossible to modify the
  current user license configuration without exiting and
  restarting Catia V5.
  As in the exemple above the second user will have lost 30
  mniutes to load his model then select his license, exit
  Catia and log back in to realise that the license is not
  available because it is used by an other user...
  
  
  Please see the customers scenario in which they have 2 users
  sharing one license (SPA).  Please advise how they can
  successfully release and reaquire the license without the impact
  of having to wait for the DMU model to reload.
