We have several network licenses for Mathematica in Engineering labs, and the lab manager has noticed a very unpleasant behavior of the license manager, to wit, that when one attempts to start a Mathematica session and gets the message 'Mathematica unavailable', there is no way to tell whether it is unavailable because the license server went down or because all the licensed sessions are in use. It is important to know both when the license server has gone down (so it can be restarted) and to know when the session limit has been exceeded (so one can decide whether to license more sessions), but the network license manager make this impossible. Do others have this same concern? How has Wolfram responded to you? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Stan Kerr <stankerr at uiuc.edu> Fax:217-244-7089 Phone:217-333-5217 University of Illinois Computing and Communications Services Office 1304 W.
