In this example, the user accesses the network from context .E.C.A. To
search for a license unit, the license service provider begins its search in
the user’s context—.E.C.A The license service provider searches up the
tree to context A and finds an available license unit.
5. The license service provider returns status to the client library.
In NetWare, for example, if the license service provider finds a NetWare
license unit, it returns a successful status to the library. Otherwise, it
returns an error code.
6. The library returns status to the application.
In NetWare, for example, the library returns licensing status to the server.
7. The application determines action based upon the status of license units.
In NetWare, for example, the server determines an action. If the status is
successful, the server allows a connection to the server. Otherwise, the
server allows a grace connection if one is available, or denies service if a
grace connection isn’t available.
