Ron,
MAPICS licensing doesn't work that way. If some one is logged in and you
clear their license, no one else can log in to MAPICS (even if you have
licenses available) until that person logs out of MAPICS. At least, that is
how the "named" licesnses work - I can't imagine the "floating" licenses
working any differently. Otherwise, it sounds like you could have 30 people
using 20 licenses at the same time!

Subject: auto-release of licensing
We are switching to MAPICS and implementing XA release 6. We are starting
out with 20 floating licenses and are wondering what methods other companies
use to free up licenses after, say, ten minutes. Our current ERP system
(Syteline 4) does not have this and we have to manually kick people out. Of
course, we still want the users jobs to continue - we're just trying to
prevent someone from logging in and then leaving their workstation for an
extended amount of time and tying up a license someone else needs.
Thank you,
