Hello everyone,
I'm looking to know if you can remotely disconnect your colleagues ' PDM sessions from the administration tool?
Not all my colleagues are physically next to me and as they sometimes leave their posts, I would like to recover the unused licenses.
Thanks in advance
It's hot though. If he has to leave for 5 minutes to go to the workshop or whatever, do you want to disconnect them from their sessions? Even though they may be in the middle of something or it's not being recorded?
Hello
To find out which users are logged in, see here:

But not sure if it will be possible to disconnect them!
Edit: a workaround:

Otherwise, it is possible to disconnect them automatically after 30 min (see the following post from the SolidWorks forum).
I agree with coin37coin on the "dangerous" side of disconnecting someone who has extracted a document from the database even if they just wanted to view it.
Yes, it's true that it's hot. Here we have several buildings and I sometimes have colleagues from another building who get stuck in an unscheduled meeting and who come to see me to disconnect them from my building. So it's a disconnection with "user's agreement".

Knowing the connected users is already good. That way they could manage to call each other and free the licenses. On the other hand, this tutorial is rather old, it's an old version of PDM so I don't have these options in the search card.
Hello
I don't know if this can help you, in our case we solved the problem by installing floating licenses that are "recoverable" by other users when they don't use them for a certain period of time.
We are 60 users for 15 licenses and there is never a block.

@g.Leluyer: That's what I said in my first message:
Otherwise, it is possible to disconnect them automatically after 30 min (see the following post from the SolidWorks forum).
In 2015 it doesn't work like that anymore, the licenses are managed by SNL and the user automatically logs out after 2 hours of inactivity.

Thank you Froussel, that's what I was looking for, walk on SW 2017:)
