iTest Enterprise accessing a license server

In a shared environment, is there a way to set an expiry on the license server so that a single user doesn't tie up a license all day? It currently looks like the users 'checks out' a license by communication with the spirentd process on the license server, then there is no further interaction between the client and license server? In a shared environment we would like to have the license release time configurable.

I guess the simplest way would be to log into the license server and check the usage over time. How were you testing the checkouts?

Exactly as you mentioned. We logged into the license server and the license remained allocated to the user, even though the iTest application was idle for over 6 hours.

There is an inactivity timeout in iTest. I believe it is set at 4 hours by default. If there is no "activity" within 4 hours, the licenses are checked back in. Any activity after the timeout will cause iTest to check out licenses again.
