#DRAFTSIGHT SP3 SOFTWARE#

Once the setting is enabled and DraftSight left idle for a longer time-period, the license is released back to the server. If you are not familiar with an options file for the SNL Manager, please see this CATI blog post.ĭraftSight does support a client-side timeout set in: DraftSight Tools > System Options > General > License and the range can vary from 1-99 minutes. For customers with existing SNL setups that use an options file to control the TIMEOUT value, we need to look for an alternative. Because of this cross platform compatibility, DraftSight does not support any form of a server-side timeout for licenses not in use. This works great until someone forgets they have an application open and continue to consume a license although they are not actively using the application.ĭraftSight uses either the SolidNetWork License (SNL) Manager or the Dassault Systèmes License Server (DSLS) to handle the server side licensing. As user starts up DraftSight, a license is reserved from the server to complete the work, they shut down DraftSight, and the license is automatically released for another user. This gives customers flexibility to share licenses between multiple part-time users.
