Time limit for device use

Submitted by mkruithof on #1

We have 3 USB devices being served up for use. We have enabled SSL for access, due to issues with losing connection over VPN.

The USBs connections are no longer being disconnected when inactive due to a stable connection.

Is it possible to setup the server to release a device after a period of time, or from non-use after a period of time.

Example: Client 1 has USB1 in use over SSL. After 4 hours he needs to "re-borrow" the device, or if he is not actively using the device after 15min, he releases the device automatically.

Is this possible ?

You can actually kick a user off a device if you do this.

(Stop and exit the virtualhere client if it is running already)

Start the virtualhere client with the -a argument for administrator mode

e.g vhui64.exe -a

then right click on the In-Use device and select Disconnect from User

then it will be disconnected and you can then use the device locally if you want.
