Every single (work) day, I get a message, "Maximum users on [System] exceeded; please log off if you are not actively using the system." Usually around 1 in the afternoon - why usage peaks then, I have no clue. I already got one this morning. Already.
We hit our licensing cap every day, or at least every other. (I would check back emails, but I delete those - they're not really "keeper" messages - but I do think it's almost every day).
If usage is that high, if it happens so often, we need to do one of two things:
1. Retrain personnel. Clearly, since sending out the email is perceived as helpful, people do log off when they get it, which means they are logged on when not actively using the system. It should not be necessary to hit them with email to get them off; they should do that themselves, when they're done for a while. (Setting up some agreement whereby the west coast offices - or some people in them - access the system late in the day after other offices have closed might also help.)
2. Get more licenses. If, on the other hand, the email does not have an effect, or has an insufficient effect, then we simply don't have enough licenses, and they're trying to scrape a few more logins.
Either way, why must we see this email every day? Goodness, set the system up to detect everyone logged in and email them?
Heh.
