Summary

Attaching a Laserfiche 7 repository through the Laserfiche 6 Client uses two licenses.

More Information

When viewing the Connections node in the Laserfiche Administration Console, two "Connecting..." items appear when you use a Laserfiche 6 Client to attach a Laserfiche 7 repository. Upon successfully attaching and logging into the repository, one "Connecting..." changes into the user account used to log in. The other "Connecting..." item continues to take up a license until you close the Laserfiche 6 Client. Subsequent use of the Laserfiche 6 Client to log into the Laserfiche 7 repository will only use one license.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Load the Laserfiche Administration Console.
2. Log into the appropriate Laserfiche Server as the System Administrator.
3. Click the Connections node to view any connections to the Laserfiche Server.
4. Load the Laserfiche 6 Client.
5. Click the New button.
6. In the New Database dialog box, select Attach and click OK.
7. In the Database Name field, specify the Laserfiche 7 repository you wish to attach.
8. In the IP Address field, specify the name of the Laserfiche Server hosting the specified repository.
9. Click OK to bring up the Login dialog box.
10. Return to the Laserfiche Administration Console and refresh the Connections node to see the two "Connecting..." items.
11. In the Laserfiche 6 Client, specify a user account and password and finish attaching and logging into the Laserfiche 7 repository.
12. Return to the Laserfiche Administration Console and refresh the Connections node to see that one of the "Connecting..." items has changed into the user you specified while the other "Connecting..." item remains unchanged.
