I do have the same recurring problem: I am a frequent user and often suffering from the license server shutdown. But when I try starting ENVI, I do not know whether ENVI does not start because the maximum number of users is reached or because the server need to be restarted. I could call all the potential users to know whether they are using ENVI, but this is not a practical , operational solution. We need to be able to know who is using ENVI, without having root privilege. As I see it flexera is not stable and we need ways to know what the problem is when ENVI does not start.
