Hold Catia open for extended periods using a program?

[simkatu]

I used to have a little executable called "CatiaHold.exe" or something like that. When you had a Catia session open with a license that expires after 30 minutes of non-use and you wanted to hold your particular set of licenses until you returned from lunch in an hour, you could run this little Catia Hold progam and the program would automatically move your part around and spin it and pan it around the screen, keeping the license active so that you didn't lose it over your lunch break if you desperately needed that license to complete your work.

Unfortunately I can't seem to find that program any longer.

Does anyone know of a program that does that?

Let say you lose your license over lunch time, maybe someone used it to do good stuff while you had a good meal. Now she/he is using that CATIAhold.exe and you can't get the license you need back, when he/she took the afternoon off after such great achievement during lunch time.

I do not think your boss is looking into the option of buying one license for each user when you can share one license.

I am managing licenses where I work and if I do find such practice, let say my user would regret looking this post and finding this piece of code you're looking for.

Learn to share...that's what we do on this forum.

I completely agree with Eric.

Everyone should use tools to find which user hold the license they need and contact the user to release it. This is a normal procedure.
