Before performing system maintenance tasks, your administrator
should make sure all users are logged out of the system.
For example, when you update the system or take a
backup, all users should be logged out of the system. Similarly, if you need to free up
a license for another user, you can automatically log users out of the system using
License Monitor. See When to Log Users Out of Estimating Automatically for more details.Important: When forcing
logout, all unsaved changes will be lost. Try to contact users before forcing logout.
- On the server where Viewpoint Estimating is installed, open Windows Explorer.
- Navigate to the folder location where your application is installed.

receives a pop-up window alerting them that their session will end after
the number of minutes you chose in the alert.

Users - if the timer for automatic logout hasn't ended, you
can cancel it for your given selection of users, chosen from among those
still logged in.

the pop-up disappears.

Users - end user sessions without warning.
Result: the system ends each user's session without
warning.
