i notice that when we install a license into a server, after that we change that license ip to another server and install again.

the previous server directadmin remain working.

this should be fix to avoid some user only use 1 license for different server
 
Actually that's strange, i suppose that directadmin check the license everyday, so, passed the night the server should stop working.

have you tested for more than 1 day?

Regards

Hello,

As zEitEr mentioned, we've implemented the portioned licenses to address this issue. We didn't design our licensing system with a single point of failure.. as the last thing we'd want is for our system to be down for a day and everyone's boxes stop running. That won't happen with this design. Without getting into too much details as how to how it works, our system is more flexible than other licensing systems, and isn't absolutely dependent on a licensing server every minute of the day. But on the other end of things, we do know when someone is running multiple copies of DA on the same license, so don't do it or we make your box melt into a puddle ;) We usually allow for a bit of overlap when people are moving boxes. Melting boxes only happens with extreme cases of license abuse.
