licensing EMEA vs. US/North America

[daFranze]

My Background: Our Networker environment sometimes claims it is not properly licensed (this seems to be a known bug in NW 7.1.3 we are still using). We do have enough licenses, but one fine day Networker claims that we do not have enough licenses to backup and round robin we do not have a backup of some clients, since Networker stops serving theses "unlicensed" clients immediately. We have 3 environments, one for test, one for integration, one for production. Since we start backups late afternoon with "test" machines, continue with "integration" and finaly backup "production" machines sometimes we have unsaved "production" machines next morning. The temporary workaround is to get more licenses.

Question: does Networker act the same way in the US/North American market? Does it stop backing up the "unlisensed" clients or does it allow some "grace period"?

I assume so. As there is just one software, why should it behave differently?

Well, there was dongled (EMEA) and undongled (US) software (Auto CAD), sometimes the manufacturers have strange ideas...
