• Timezone

  Use the dropdown list to set a timezone for license lease expiry. Each active user holds licenses until midnight of the configured time zone. If an application is inactive at this time, the license of the user is released, and is available for other users. If the application is active at this time, the license remains checked out to the user and the license lease expiry is extended till next day midnight.

  If a user continues to use a feature after midnight in the specified time zone, the user consumes a Seat for that feature for both the days. It is recommended that you choose a time zone where most users are inactive at midnight.

• Timeout

  A read only field. This setting displays the time limit for refreshing your connection with LaaS in case of a loss of connection. Increasing the duration makes your products more resilient to network problems. However, a high timeout may impact your license releases. If your users are still active close to midnight and the network then fails, they continue to hold the seats on the next day as well even if they exit the application before midnight. The default timeout is 3600 seconds.

• HeartBeat

  A read only field. This setting shows the time in seconds to verify the connection with LaaS. Heartbeat is the time interval between two connections made with LaaS while using the product. The default is 1680 seconds and the maximum is one hour (3600 seconds).

  Important: Only AVEVA License Administrators can change the Timeout and HeartBeat settings. Contact your AVEVA License Administrator if an update is required.
