License Reclamation in Barcode 6.6

One of the toughest parts of Barcode is understanding how licenses can be freed up for scanners no longer in use.

In latest releases, a concurrency model is used, where the concurrent number of scanners registered is what matters, not specific scanners. The user interface now also has functions to recycle or reclaim licenses from unused scanning devices.

However, in Version 6.6, licenses were held by a particular scanner until 2 things happened:

1. That particular scanner did not report any scanning updates for 30 days.
2. A weekly scheduled task runs on the Notification Server.

So, if you have 6.6 or older, and need more licenses, you can purchase more, or retire and recycle the older ones after 30 days of inactivity.
