Click on Features next to the network license key. The administrator can disconnect a user from a feature if that user is tying up a resources (i.e. went home without logging off and not running a long print job).

Licensing Administration It is possible that there may be conflicts for seats if there are more requests for a feature than are allowed on the key. Error messages will appear either as a popup message or an error in the Thrive RIP-Queue Console.

Licensing Administration Another Possibility is that a user may request more licenses than are currently available on the key and he will be directed to reduce the number of requests. For instance if the key allows 10 printers and 8 are currently in use and the user launches another RIP-Queue Configured to use 4 more printers, user will get the following message: When the user presses the OK button, the printer manager dialog will be displayed in which the user can reduce the number of enabled printers so that he can continue his work with, in the above case, two printers.
