Folks,
I have a couple of questions about the IDL VM. We use networked floating
licenses and have our IDL Windows clients set the environment variable
LM_LICENSE_FILE to point to our license server.
- If we run the VM with the variable set, IDL still grabs a license. We
need to delete the variable in order not to use up a floating license.
- If we try to run the VM on a Windows 2000 Server running Terminal
Services, remote users see the Alert "Unable to obtain a license to run as a
Windows Terminal Server client".
It seems to me both of these behaviors run counter to the intent of the
Virtual Machine.
Any comments?

Since no one in the newsgroup had anything to say, I submitted these
conserns to RSI and
got two quick responses:
- VM grabbing the license inappropriately is a recognized bug which has
been fixed in 6.1.
- The VM currently runs for remote users of Unix, Linux and Mac OS X, so
support sees
no reason to disable VM for Windows Terminal Services; a feature request
(CR 32879) has
been submitted.
I am satisfied that RSI support is still supporting.
