License Server cookies problems
Posted: Wed Sep 05, 2018 9:52 am
We caught strange behavior in our own deployed license server.
From the documentation:
But we have non-standard behavior in different browsers(always with allowed cookies), we have a new "_uid" in each request to the license server.
So, after a few minutes of 1 user work - there are 10 used licenses and about 100 rejected requests...

I researched oXygen Web Author communication with License Server and found that it automatically generates "_uid" cookie which will be used by the license server for managing client(browser) licenses.For the licensing mechanism to run properly, your browser needs to accept cookies. Otherwise, Oxygen XML Web Author will not be loaded.

What does it mean:While no personal information is sent to the server, a cookie that identifies the user is auto-generated.
? Maybe we can avoid using cookies or there is another solution to this problem?personal information
