Floating Server - How do I force an online check of the license fields?Answered

Hi, 

I am using LimeLM in an Electron app (node). 
I have started a floating server. 

From a client, I got a lease by calling the following in order:
1. turbofloat.SaveServer
2. turboFloat.RequestLease
3. turboFloat.GetFeatureValue - for some license fields for which I want to know the latest value.

The problem I am facing is that the GetFeatureValue does not return the latest values from the license. It returns some cached values that are out of date. I would like to force an online check if possible.

If not using a floating server, instead using TurboActivate, I achieved a forced online check by running the following:
1. this.turboActivate.IsGenuine
2. turboActivate.GetFeatureValue

Is there a way to do a forced online check using TurboFloat? 

Thank you in advance

This is covered in the custom license fields article in the “Changing fields & getting the changed data in your app” section.

Thank you, reading through that section I see 2 options:
1.  Change when the server reverifies (change daysBetweenChecks). This is not a solution for us because we need the ability to refresh the license field on demand, not every daysBetweenChecks 
2. Restart the server with the ‘-a' flag. This is not ideal. Is there no workaround for making a refresh request from the client requesting the lease?

Not currently.

Hosted TFS instances will update immediately with new custom license fields. They’ll be out soon.
