TurboFloat 4.3 -- dropping lease on computer going to sleepSolved

As I understand it this version contains a new feature that drops the lease when the user computer goes to sleep, so that it is available for someone else.

This isn't suitable for our application. We don't want to stop someone using the app. when their computer wakes up if someone else has grabbed their licence. And we don't want to allow them to continue to work without a floating licence. Can we turn this feature off in our implementation?

No.

This is a feature, but it also addresses a legitimate issue (a.k.a. a bug). Namely, if a customer puts their machine to sleep without first dropping the lease (the behavior you're asking to have back) then that lease would be a "zombie". Meaning it would stick around until it expired.

The proper thing to do is what we've implemented and handle it correctly in your app. Namely, if the customer puts their machine to sleep and then wakes it up and there are no available leases, show a prompt for the user to request a new lease and/or save the current state of what they're working on so they can exit your app and do something else.

OK, that makes sense. Thanks Wyatt.
