What happens to a time-limited LDK license when the clock is changed?
This page applies to Harlequin v13.1r0 and later; both Harlequin Core and Harlequin MultiRIP.
If you are using a time-limited soft-lock and the system time is changed:
Set to an earlier time, but by less than 24 hours | Products continue to run. |
Set back to an earlier time, by more than 24 hours | Time-limited products stop working until the clock is set back to the original time (the license manager may also need restarting; rebooting the computer is a good way to ensure a clean environment). |
Set to a future time | Products continue to run, but the new high-water-mark time is now the base time. Re-setting the system time to more than 24 hours before the new base time prevents products running until the system is set forward to the new base time again. |
