SMS: Software Metering Does Not Reserve License When Checked Out (231257)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0
This article was previously published under Q231257 SYMPTOMS
When a computer checks out a license, and then restarts when it is connected to the network, the license is released upon startup. The workstation can continue to use the checked-out license, and the server can also allocate that license to other computers. The server retains the record of the checked-out license but does not indicate that the license is "in use" for that client.
WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, release the checked-out license (close the appropriate program) before you restart the computer.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in version for Microsoft Systems Management Server version 2.0.
