We have the problem with 3 machines from these machines pdms licenses are disconnecting at a particular time whats the reason for this.our it guys tried to solved this problem but it is not possible with them finally they replaced the systems
We have PDMS Software installed on Application server and all clients just have a shortcut to the evars.bat file which runs PDMS off the server. I think the servers have Windows Server 2000 or 2003 (not sure) and all the clients run Windows Vista.
About twice every hour or sometimes more, when a user tries to do anything thaqt can be considered slightly heavy like add sites continuously tio the drawlist, the application loses connection to the server (limited connectivity and all). At this point, you cannot save any work anymore, you cannot even exit the application, even Task Manager cannot end the process.
This really slows down our work a lot. Our IT Department do not know why this happens, but it happens only with PDMS. AutoCAD and other applications work fine, no matter how large the model or drawing is.
Once I've got a problem with the licenses and AVEVA guys call us and the problem was resolved. Italian AVEVA's guys are very kindly.
The problem was that the date of one client computer was changed accidentally and the server recognised the licence calling as a fake.
