To see connection limitations, choose connection from the drop-down menu in the toolbar.
The Licensing tool displays information about each server that is selected in the Collectives and Servers pane. The information is grouped under two headings: Programs and Resources.
-
Programs
Under Programs you can check the maximum number of anonymous connections allowed (pinetMgr.AnonymousConnectionsAllowed). An anonymous connection is a connection from something that has not identified itself with a known GUID (Globally Unique Identifier). Products are assigned a GUID that is stored in the license activation file. However, some custom applications might not have a GUID.

Resources
Under Resources you can check limitations on API (pinetMgr.MaxAPIConnections) and SDK connections (pinetMgr.MaxSDKConnections). For example, if you reach the maximum number of SDK connections, you get a message that looks something like this:
>> License Error: [-12212] Maximum licensed SDK Application connections exceeded. Connection refused. Maximum allowed: 5. Process name: (calling process name) ID: (process ID)
