Floating licence manager improvements
Updating the floating licence manager (which has to happen occasionally) is very difficult to organise because all licences (clients, engines, …) need to be checked in prior to the update to avoid corruption of the system. In a large company with many users (if not the majority of them) working remotely, this is almost impossible to achieve. So either there should be more flexibility in the update system, or there should be a functionality for a system administrator to force check-in licences if users don't react at the request.

With updating licensing coming in 2021, the need to “update” licenses becomes a purely back office issue that removes the need to manually update the license manager.
We’ve avoided this issue by removing the need to force upgrade the licenses. This improvement will retire the floating license manager process by the 2nd half of the 2021 year.
Expect to hear more soon…
