DraftSight can be set to release an idle license at a user defined length of time. While the setup is different that other SNL managed applications, the end result is similar. Ignore the window and please save your open files! The moment continue is selected DraftSight will immediately close without the opportunity to save. At this point is it critical to stop and DO NOT click continue. Feature-rich 2D & 3D CAD solution for architects, engineers, designers, hobbyists, & more. Upon selecting OK the following message is shown and can be very misleading. Essential 2D design and drafting with a complete set of edit, design and automation tools. While the message is not intuitive, in this context it means that no network license is available. If no licenses are available, the behavior is quite different and the following dialog window is presented. If a license is available, DraftSight will behave as if nothing happened and one can finish editing their DWG files. Upon using DraftSight, it will check the license server for an available license. When this happens, you will experience one of the following situations when trying to use the software. When the return license option is enabled and DraftSight sits idle long enough, there is a good possibility that the release license is now being used by another. If you enable this setting and licenses are not being release, please check to see the version of DraftSight installed. Multiple versions from 2019 SP3 though 2021 SP2 have been locally tested and all release the license after the time elapses.
A few older versions of DraftSight did not reliably return the license and a license would stay “in use.” This was reported as SPR 1154172 and addressed in DraftSight 2019 SP3. Once the setting is enabled and DraftSight left idle for a longer time-period, the license is released back to the server. If you are not familiar with an options file for the SNL Manager, please see this CATI blog post.ĭraftSight does support a client-side timeout set in: DraftSight Tools > System Options > General > License and the range can vary from 1-99 minutes. For customers with existing SNL setups that use an options file to control the TIMEOUT value, we need to look for an alternative. Because of this cross platform compatibility, DraftSight does not support any form of a server-side timeout for licenses not in use. Trusted 2D drafting and 3D design experience with a familiar interface. Create, edit, view, and share 2D and 3D DWG files with productivity tools and an API. This works great until someone forgets they have an application open and continue to consume a license although they are not actively using the application.ĭraftSight uses either the SolidNetWork License (SNL) Manager or the Dassault Systèmes License Server (DSLS) to handle the server side licensing. Essential 2D design and drafting with a complete set of edit, design and automation tools. As user starts up DraftSight, a license is reserved from the server to complete the work, they shut down DraftSight, and the license is automatically released for another user. This gives customers flexibility to share licenses between multiple part-time users.
