Oh boy. That was close. And just before the audit.
Customer with very small production have only 1 license of qs-STAT and automatic upload Q-DM.
On Friday afternoon, one of the engineers were preparing for audit on Monday on his PC.
Aaaaand, he forgot to close down the application when he was done. He just closed the laptop, unplugged it from the network and went home. Sounds familiar?
Luckily, this customer has some safety settings in cases like that, so the license will not get stuck in the database and the can use the license again on Monday morning during the audit.
The safety options can be found in the short document (in the link below).
If you have just a small amount of licenses and you don’t have the option active, you are about to be in trouble in some point of time.
Read it. Use it. Ask for help to Q-DAS application engineer, if needed.
