Issue
Licenses for INVOICES modules are not released in a timely manner.
Solution
Adding the following Options file allows the administrator to control the amount of time that must lapse after the last "hearbeat" from the Invoices module before a license is returned to the license pool.
- In the C:\FlexLM directory, create a text file named EHLM.opt with a single entry: TIMEOUTALL 60
- The value of 60 instructs the service to release any licenses for which there has been no heartbeat for 60 seconds.
- The value of TIMEOUTALL can be adjusted according to a customer's needs.
Once the Options file is created, restart the license service via the LMTOOLS utility. The debug log will now contain an entry such as, (EHLM) Using options file: "C:\Flexlm\ehlm.opt."
