Recently I wrote about the new licensing options we have with WITNESS having integrated the Reprise License Manager.

The License Manager is a license server that manages a central pool of WITNESS licenses, shared amongst WITNESS users. A license is requested from the license server as each users starts WITNESS. There is also a facility called “roaming” that allows a WITNESS license to be checkout for a period of time allowing a computer  to disconnect from the network while still being able to run WITNESS.

This can be easily done by selecting the “Roam License” option from the License Administration dialog, for example:

WITNESS will automatically restart and you get notified on the tile bar when your license will expire.

It is also possible to prevent users from roaming; I’ll speak about that in a future post.
