Note:

  • The session request file must be used within 2 days of its creation from License Manager.
  • The created session will only be valid for a maximum of 30 days, subject to the license expiry date. You will need to repeat this process for a new session.
  • The license set seats are reserved in the same way as starting a session directly from License Manager and will therefore not be available for other users.
  • A session created here can only be released by connecting the machine to the internet.
