    Note:
    About Session Limit Usage:
    When establishing a session of a particular type (for example, the Operator Portal connection), the ActivID CMS server checks whether there is at least one available session of the requested type.

    • If so, then the session is established and remains available until it is closed.

    • If there are no more available sessions of the requested type, then an error message is displayed (this operation is not possible at this time because there are no more available sessions on the server). Or, an exception is generated in the case of the CCM Card and Credential Management API In the context of ActivID CMS, an Application Programming Interface (API) is an external interface (for example, the CCM API) that makes it possible for applications not supported by HID Global to incorporate ActivID functionality..
      

    This feature ensures that even if there is a huge spike in the ActivID CMS usage, ActivID CMS can still run without performance degradations for users who have a current session open.

    In both the Operator Portal and the User Portal, the user can click Retry to try again, or Cancel to abort the operation.
