Error description

  • Agent fails to recognize OUT entries after a LKS re-start as
    already active check-outs. Hence, it considers them freshly
    started activities which never close. Thus, such license usages
    keep showing up in the reports endlessly even though they are no
    active check-outs corresponding to them.
