I checked the license-server and there were a few licenses that have 
been held for several weeks.  For one of these, I was able to determine 
that the mathematica process had actually crashed so I checked the 
license-server options.  The timeout was not set. I fixed that and 
restarted the license server.

Most of the Mathematica licenses are now available. Those with existing 
mathematica instances open may get a message asking to reconnect to the 
license server.

We aren't tracking the license usage carefully, to appreciate hearing 
when you are unable to open mathematica so that we can determine if 
TRIUMF needs to purchase extra licenses.
