License errors again....

Well, this time it's me. I can ping the license server so connection is OK I think.

Nick, it's unlikely that Massive/AA Sysadmins have a fix for this so I would suggest the following:
First run a test to see what happens on the client when the lic server is reset. If it just hangs until the license can be re-established (ie. no crashing/no work is lost), then I think we could ask the AA sysadmins to set up a job on the server that kicks the lic server/mhost every 12 hours (or even shorter intervals, like every 2 hours).
In my experience this can sometimes be the only temp workaround when dealing with crap homebrewed licensing software. What you think?

I can't prep for class now (although admittedly it's late) - I just wanted to do a batch run through the tutorials and it worked earlier in the week. It's going to be very frustrating to have to schedule one's work around when the license server is up and running. Getting more licenses won't neccesarily solve this I think.

Best,

Henrik
