Open LM for ESRI ArcGIS

Open LM for ESRI ArcGIS ESRI ArcGIS does not implement FLEXlm TIMEOUT. An example to an implementation of OpenLM Agent. OpenLM implemented application TIMEOUT using internal ArcGIS extension combined with the features of OpenLM Agent. OpenLM TIMEOUT is more flexible than FLEXlm TIMEOUT. The project/data is saved and the application is closed. The end user is notified by a bubble message. By clicking the bubble the project reopens. OpenLM will not close idle session if licenses are still available. We can implement a dedicated Agent for other software systems.
