Licence Server Changes - SC DS59
The cleanup of licence services is an often neglected
process as people rarely tell us when they decide not to
renew licences or cease to use perpetual licences for a
particular version of software. Before deleting a disused
licence from the server, it is best to allow a month or two
since expiry, or if unexpired a time when the service is
stopped and will not auto-start on reboot.
