• When I log in to iLaw a message says "No Licences Available"

  This issue can be because the number of iLaw users have iLaw open than the iLaw license allows. If you click on Housekeeping-Support-View License usage from the iLaw toolbar you will be able to see from the Connected Clients section (scroll down the screen) how many people are logged in by counting how many iLaw 'Run times' there are compared to the Quantity Installed in the Installed Licenses section.
  
  Having no iLaw license may also be a result of your PC not being able to obtain a license from the License server that is situtaed on the server of PC that holds the database. This can be due to security software on your PC or on the server. Please call us during office hours to set up a remote session.
