Is there any chance to get the licence back, if some hold them? For example by restart the server instance.

No. But we are working distributed, so currently the license server is open :frowning: It’s a question just in case … - or someone forgot to release the license and starts a world journey without cell phone :slight_smile:

Hi Lilian,
I’m interested to access control functionality but the link don’t work (Forbidden).
I would know if the restriction can be done in order to enable an edition to userA and an other edition to userB.
