Good afternoon,

I was wondering if you might have any suggestions regarding an issue where multiple Windows workstations on a network that have a local versions of RMCOBOL (20 user license) installed are getting error 250's even though they have fewer than 20 sessions of RMCobol open.  When a workstation closes out, it is almost as if it is not releasing the license back into the pool for other users.  The issue is resolved by a reboot, but it is cumbersome and is inhibiting productivity.

Are you using terminal services?

Desactiva el UAC, (Control de cuentas de usuarios).
Registra el Runtime con el Regsvr32.
Localiza el Runtime, e indicale al Vista que se ejecute como administrador.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this. It appears that one user is using terminal services.
