When using URL reporting, how do we release the license, or log out the user that we used to connect to CE? We have a limited number of licenses, so we want to make sure we don't lock them all.

Hey Josh,
There is no switch for this, but you can control the time the WCS is holding on to your license.
Check this out:
If you are using CE8, you have to install a patch first, if you are using CE9 (and I hope you have a plan to move a way from unmanaged reporting), the timeout is 10 mins.
have a nice day

Thanks for your assistance. I believe we need to force the license to cut off, but let me know if I'm incorrect based on the description below.
We have a high volume employee self service application in which our managers do performance reviews. After each review, they print it out and share it with the employees. The printing is done via Crystal PDF and streamed to the client. The simple way to do this is to use a URL. Another way that we've read about is to use CSP pages and a logon token. Either way, the report only takes a few seconds to run.
Here is the tricky part. We have a seven different web servers that the connection could be coming from. If two different web servers try to connect to Crystal with the same logon ID/password, what would happen? With the "token" solution, we are concerned that the token is affiliated with a particular web server so the other request would fail instead of being queued. The real-life example would be two different employees requesting a printed review at the same time.
As a side note, we definitely want to hide the URL from the user so they don't hack it and see another employee's review. To achieve this, we planning on checking the HTTP referrer with csp pages.
Thanks so much for your input.
