Troubleshooting and FAQs

Question: Can a system administrator restrict the usage of repository licenses?

A system administrator can restrict the usage of repository licenses. The "-com" option available on the License Manager is used to restrict the percentage of authorization check outs.

For example, if a license service is started with an option "-com 0", then no application can check out a repository license from the License Manager.

Question: Once a repository license is checked out, does system clock tampering affect the usage of the licensed application?

Yes. Once a repository license is checked out, it is equivalent to a tandalone license with clock-tamper check flag turned ON. Therefore, any tampering with the system clock stops the running application.

License authorization check in		Manual	Manual
Remote authorization check out		Allowed	Not Applicable
Remote authorization check in		Not Required
