Does the "zombie" timeout just check to see if AutoCAD is running on the
workstation ....... i.e. the workstation ip address is pinged every 30 sec
or so - if AutoCAD is running it maintains the license. If AutoCAD is not
open or the workstation is off-line it releases the license for somebodey
else or does it actually sense if somebody has actually been active with
using AutoCAD; not merely bogarting the license by having it up on there
screen?
