| Licensing / Licensing Tips and Tricks / Troubleshooting | |
Evaluate licensing when migrating from the Genero Desktop Client (GDC).
For Genero Web Client (GWC) applications, we recommend CPU licenses. GWC applications cannot detect if the user has left the application, if the user has simply closed the browser (as opposed to stopping the application by explicitly exiting the application by selecting the appropriate action). If the user closed the browser without exiting the application, the application is still running and continues to consume a license. A timeout can be configured to release the DVM, which in turn releases the license. To minimize the impact, a solution is to use an application launcher: a main application that executes RUNs of sub-applications or a startmenu.
