HD78760: LICENSING : CATIA ACQUIRES TWO LICENSES ON THE SAME MACHINE WITH THE SAME USER - SAME ACID

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• LICENSING : CATIA ACQUIRES TWO LICENSES ON
  THE SAME MACHINE WITH THE SAME USER - SAME
  ACID
  Requirements:
  - LUM server 4.6.8 is installed on a server with
  following licenses
  * DM2+FIT+KIN with a serial number, quantity 2
  * DM2+FIT+KIN with a different serial number than
  the previous, quantity 2
  - 3 different machines with ENOVIA DMU installed
  on machine A, B and C.
  All ENOVIA clients have been set with
  DM2+FIT+KIN licenses on the server with "ANY
  license" option selected
  Scenario:
  Step 1 - Launch ENOVIA DMU on machine A
  1 license has been taken on server side
  Step 2 - Launch ENOVIA DMU on machine B
  2 licenses have been taken on server side on the
  same serial number
  Step 3 - Launch ENOVIA DMU on machine C
  2 licenses have been taken on server side on the
  same serial number + 1 license on the other serial
  number
  Step 4 - Close ENOVIA DMU session on machine A
  1 license has been taken on server side + 1 license
  on the other serial number
  Step 5 - Launch another ENOVIA DMU session on
  machine C
  Result: 2 licenses have been taken on server side
  on the same serial number + 1 license on the other
  serial number
  Expected result: 1 license has been taken on
  server side + 1 license on the other serial number
  Reason: On machine C, we have the same user,
  same machine, same acid, so only one license
  should be taken from server side.
