Unregister node when closing the app from task manager

Hello,

We are trying to implement floating license in our desktop application. We do not have any problem with registering or unregistering nodes. But the problem occurs if the application is not closed normally. We called ReleaseFloatingLicense method when the application exits as you mention in the following article https://support.soraco.co/hc/en-us/articles/213333283-How-to-implement-floating-licensing-with-QLM-Enterprise. If the user closes the app from task manager or the computer shuts down instantly. This code block is not triggered. So the registered node takes that seat until the user reopens the app and close it normally. Is there any way to solve this problem. I could not find it in any documentation on your website.

Thanks in advance

  Hi Yekta

  There are 2 ways to handle this:

  1. As you found out, the license will be re-used the next time the user opens the app.

  2. You can deploy the QLM Floating License Viewer with your application and allow your customer to deactivate the orphaned licenses.
