"Our offshore developers will be using Traffic Parrot. Can you please clarify how that will impact the number of parallel licenses used? If a VPN connection is terminated, the license should stop being used?" - Software Developer working for a global financial institution.
We understand you wanted to know if a Traffic Parrot (TP) license will be checked back into the licensing server pool if the connection is dropped (for example when a VPN connection is closed).The answer is yes. If the person was running TP outside via VPN connection and the discontinued VPN connection results in the lack of connectivity to the licensing server, the TP license server will recognise a timeout and will check back the license into the pool after the configurable timeout passes. The TP instance without the connection will shut down and the developer will not be able to use it.
If however, the developer was using VPN to access a development machine inside the organization then the connection would not be terminated, and the TP license would be still checked out by the TP instance running on the VM.
Please find the sample diagrams below.
