Below are additional definitions for the terms/phrases used in the log:

  • Connection Start
    • Indicates that a user attempted to make a connection to the server.  For example, this would be logged when a client opens the application with the floating license enabled. 
  • Grab
    • License acquisition/check out.
  • 1 of X
    • This indicates one module was grabbed out of X available modules of that license.
  • Ungrab
    • Return of license (check in).
  • Connection End
    • Indicates the user disconnected from the server. This could be from the client closing the software application or some other connection issue.

 

Additional Details 

  • The timestamps are always in this fixed format: dd/MM/yy HH:mm:ss
  • The timestamps are in the local time zone of the server. 
  • The log will not record any special message if the server is rebooted.  
  • If a client user opens the software twice on the same PC, it will only trigger one grab in the log.
  • As long as there is a connection between the client and the server, the logs should be recorded. Ungrab operation should not affect logs creation.
  • Grab/Ungrab can be done for all modules or specific modules.
  • Stopping the service will release all licenses and show in the log as "Server Stop".
  • Termination of the server/service will not cause issues with the log creation. 
  • If a client tries to open the software without an available seat, then "MODULE_OR_PACKAGE_NOT_EXIST" will be shown in the log.
