If you intend to run more than one copy of your application at the same time, you must ensure that you have sufficient Application Server licenses to cover the number of users accessing the application. During an exceptional period, for example, at year end, you might have more users running your application than usual. You need to purchase sufficient Application Server licenses to cover this situation. However, to help you cope with unexpected fluctuations in use, and to give you time to purchase additional licenses, AppTrack has a built-in time-limited overdraft facility.
You can configure the shell script nolicense to send an email to the person responsible for licensing issues whenever a user receives the response that no more license units are available. The person responsible for licenses should contact your product supplier to resolve any excess license usage issues. See the section Special Action On No-license Condition.
If you have set the ASLMFRETRY environment variable, as described in the section Automatic License Retry, no retry is attempted until all unused overdraft license units (if available) have been used.
The number of additional copies of your application that you can run depends on the number of license units installed for the application:
For each further ten license units installed, an additional license unit becomes available.
You can use the extra license unit or units for up to 30 days.
