Another Possibility is that a user may request more licenses than are currently available on the key and he will be directed to reduce the number of requests.

• For instance if the key allows 10 printers and 8 are currently in use and the user launches another RIP-Queue Configured to use 4 more printers, user will get the following message:

When the user presses the OK button, the printer manager dialog will be displayed in which the user can reduce the number of enabled printers so that he can continue his work with, in the above case, two printers.
