Sorry about the cross post but this appears to be the correct news group: We are using a Cisco VPN to connect to a branch office. They are able to get licenses fine but at least for LDD the license manager is unable to release the license correctly. This may only be happening for vertical products (LDD). To get the license to release requires a reboot of the server. Any Suggestions? I would prefer to not have them borrwing license at the start of each day but this may be the only solution. LM is running on an Windows 2000 machine but we will be moving it to a small business server 2003 machine shortly. Thanks, Conan Witzel Garrett Ihnen Civil Engineers.
