License Return

If Force real time license verification is enabled in the Software Metering Properties dialog box in the SMS Administrator console, each client must return an application license to the local software metering server when the user at that client closes the application so that licenses will be available to those users who need them through license balancing. The software metering server also processes the granting of callbacks when licenses become available.

This flowchart documents the actions that take place at the client to release the license and at the local software metering server to receive the license.

For more information about callback processing, see Figure 22.5, “Software Metering: Callback Processing.”
