Since there are less users that are sharing the ArcInfo FLEXlm feature (10 licenses for 20 users), there are more chances that less then 8 licenses will be concurrently in use.

#Timeoutall flexlm free#

With a threshold of 80% OpenLM will try to keep two (2) free licenses for each FLEXlm feature (ArcView and ArcInfo).

Let us assume we have two FLEXlm features with different groups of users for each group: editing users that use ESRI ArcInfo and viewers the use ESRI ArcView. Is there any benefit in applying different timeout values for different features?

Only when the third floating license is consumed the usage rate will be 100% and OpenLM will try to release one license for new users.ДЄs shown above, the threshold mechanism works well for both high and low numbers of ESRI ArcGIS concurrent licenses. This is because when two licenses are in use the usage rate is only 66% (less than 80%). If two or less users request an ArcInfo license at the same time, their request will be fulfilled and then OpenLM will try to release idle sessions for more new users.Д«ecause of the low number of Spatial Analyst licenses, OpenLM will only keep one floating license free for new users. Assuming that 8 licenses were already consumed, if more then two users try to access the ESRI ArcInfo licenses at the same time, some will get a FLEXlm denial. With a total of 10 licenses available, OpenLM will try to keep two free licenses of ESRI ArcInfo ready for new users. On the other hand OpenLM Server must assure that a sufficient number of licenses are available for new users that may try to access the software.

If there is no need for the Desktop ArcGIS licenses then the software can stay idling for very long periods of times. Since the act of closing idle sessions of ArcGIS Desktop can cause some inconvenience OpenLM, is trying to minimize the number of closed sessions. The combination of the threshold/maximum idle time is a simple system that assures that licenses will be available for users that need licenses while trying to minimize the number of closed sessions. The user can also click OpenLM Agent located on the end user desktop and get the list of all recently closed projects. A pop-up message will announce that the project was closed and will allow the user to reopen the project in a single click. Once the usage level drops below the set threshold, OpenLM Server will not close more idling sessions.ДЇrom the end user's point of view, his ESRI ArcGIS project will be saved and then closed. OpenLM monitors the usage level of each FLEXlm feature and once the usage level is above the set threshold, OpenLM will gracefully close sessions, starting with the ones that are idling longer. Threshold (percent) - The usage level that above it OpenLM will start to release ESRI ArcGIS FLEXlm licenses.

The software may be closed after that time, if the usage is above a set level (threshold). Maximum idle time (minutes) - Set the maximum time that ESRI ArcGIS software will not be closed, even if the software is not in use (idle). The activity of the TIMEOUT feature is based on two parameters, maximum idle time and threshold. OpenLM for ESRI ArcGIS implements a TIMEOUT feature for ESRI ArcGIS software that uses FLEXlm software for licensing.
