Reserving TSAPI user licenses

About this task

After installing or upgrading to AE Services, perform this procedure to

The TSAPI Service acquires its licenses from the WebLM server. Depending on the nature of your TSAPI applications and the number of extensions under TSAPI control, accessing the WebLM server for each license request can have a noticeable effect on the performance of your application. For example, if your TSAPI application initiates monitors for several hundred extensions during its initialization, the TSAPI Service will normally acquire a license from the WebLM server for each of these extensions one at a time. You can reduce the time that it takes your TSAPI application to initialize by reserving TSAPI licenses. When you reserve TSAPI licenses, the TSAPI Service acquires all of the reserved licenses at startup time by making a single request to the WebLM server. If more than the reserved amount of TSAPI licenses are used at any given time, then TSAPI will acquire the extra licenses from the WebLM server one at a time.
