General Description: Fix for avoiding crash when exe values is equal to "*" or "*\" or "*/" Detailed Description: Freezemonitor crashes whenever it tries to extract base name from exe patterns involving "*", "*\" or "*/". After the installation of this patch, freezemonitor will ignore the applications with this exe values. General Description: Fix for freeezemonitor's inability to release license when there are multiple features without usage Detailed Description: Freezemon is unable to release licenses for features with usage whenever there are unused features. After the installation of this patch, freezemonitor will be able to remove the licenses of features with usage even if there are unused features. General Description: Support for minimizing suspended applications with opened tabs Detailed Description: Freezemon can now minimize suspended application after irq timeout or immediately after the suspend button is pressed. This also fixes the issue where a workstation hangs when freezemon tries to suspend an application with opened tabs. This patch also contains fix from the older patches: Support for backup lmremove command - if the first lmremove command fails, the backup lmremove will be executed Support for require-same-licenses entry- if the number of available licenses isn't the same as the number of removed licenses, a suspended application can still be resumed if the require-same-licenses entry is set to "no". Improved log messages for disabler and freezemonitor Support for Active Directory groups - freezemon will consider the user groups before suspending an application Fixed the delay when opening excel and word files when there is a suspended app.
This patch contains the following bug fixes: * License Optimizer does not check if there is a license checkout and freezes an application though there is none. To fix this issue, "used-licenses" rule has been added , this will check if the user of a feature on a host has the actual number of license usage that is specified in the rule. * Freezemonitor failed to optimize applications because it cannot handle the new lmstat output. This patch adds support for the new output format of flex (vendor name included on usage line). * Freezemon rule license-use gets the utilization wrong. The "license-use" rule previously had a bug that caused the percentage of use to be summed for all features, and the sum was used in the calculations. It has been updated so that the use will now be calculated for each feature individually. *lmremove issue Configuration is added for cold.conf: rm-retry-interval=<period> and rm-max-retry=<number>. It is to better control how frequently and how many times lmremove is to be run when disabling, if the first attempt fails.
General Description: Support for new lmstat output of flex and support for wildcard feature version in feature line of cold.conf. Detailed Description: Freezemonitor failed to support the new lmstat output of flex. This patch adds support for the said output format(no version in usage line) of flex and also adds functionality to support wildcards in feature version at Freezemonitor cold.conf file.
