Problem Title:
floating license: While running M1.x dialup networking is evoked
severaltimes



Problem Description:
Keywords: floating license, dialup networking

Urgency: standard

General Description:
Customer is running M1.x software with floating license. While M1.x is running,
dialup networking is evoked several times even M1.x is running on the license se
rver machine. Customer wants to know why.


Solution 1:

This is because the default network card is the modem card. Therefore whenever a
ny M1 'client' application that is licensed (e.g. in M1.4 map, par, bitgen, trce
, promgen, epic are licensed) needs to checkout a license, the computer will att
empt to dial up the network even though it may be a license server itself.

The workaround is to reconfigure the computer, such that the modem is no longer
the default network card. Please contact your network administrator for this. Ot
herwise, the dialups must be tolerated.
