Customers use PlantSimulation as a floating license.
But there are few questions from license management point of view :
1) What happens to the application when the license stops while using the application?
Example: After X minutes attempts to reacquire licenses, but if it can not be acquired during that period, forced termination etc.
2) What is the behavior of application when the license server stops for 5 minutes while using the application. (In the case of redundant configuration, all license servers are stopped)
3) Will it be possible to continue using the application without trouble if the license server recovers within minutes?
4) When continuing to use with the connection with the license server disconnected, the following error message may be displayed. At what timing is the client PC checking the connection with the license server?
Error message:
"The connection to the license server has been lost. If there is no license, the application will terminate. Do you want to save the model before exiting?"
