Crystal 8.5 License

[jflmeing]

I have just upgraded to Crystal 8.5, where they implemented code to only allow 5 concurrent users to run reports.

I know there is a default timeout for each Crystal Viewer session. After the timeout period, does that destroy the session and free up a user license?

If it does not, is there some code I can implement to do so?

Thank you,
Jennifer

The default timeout for a session is 20 minutes.
You can change it in ASP by doing
session.timeout = 10
Then, the session will be destroy after 10 min and it will free up a license.

You can also use this to release a license when a report had been view

set session("oPageEngine&quot = nothing
set session("oRpt&quot = nothing
set session("oApp&quot = nothing
Session.Contents.Remove("oPageEngine&quot
Session.Contents.Remove("oRpt&quot
Session.Contents.Remove("oApp&quot

If you want to see more sample code, go to Crystal decisions web site at

http://support.crystaldecisions.com/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/aspxmps85.exe.asp

to download the file aspxmps85.exe

This is if you're using ASP and RDC to view your reports,if you're using VB, then maybe someone else will be able to help you more since i only use ASP.

HTH,
Martin

Thank you for this information.

I am using ASP also. Sorry, I forgot to mention it in my original post.
