License Issues

[joeltsack]

I have been having some licensing issues and it seems like I am out of licenses. How would I go about solving this issue?

I have been getting the Licensing Error [-4.132.0] PDSU 2013. I attached the status enquiry for reference.

looks like you have 1 Prdss, 1 Prdsu and both are being used

Can I obtain more license seats somehow? I have not had this issue before then then all of a sudden this month I am out of licenses? How does that happen?

[DarrenP]

previous version use will consume more licenses

if running at the same time as 2013

How would I go about solving this issue?

[DarrenP]

if your users are running multiple versions at the same time nothing is stopping them from grabbing multiple licenses this is by design

you can create an options file to stop certain users from grabbing a previous version license

Is there any way more seats can be added for the license file?

[DarrenP]

not unless you buy more

Yes, you can purchase additional licenses: contact your reseller.

There are tools to improve your license utilization.
