Well just to answer your First Question 4 Floating licenses of Matlab with only Simulink and Stateflow costs you around 8,200,000 INR which is equivalent to 206,861.4 US$. Hence a small application would be always better than procuring few more license. Moreover getting approval for license and all needs a huge cycle time, against which developing an application would always be better

Hi, We, in our office use a remote Matlab License server running FlexLM license manager. Since we have very few floating licenses we end up asking to release the license from the fellow engineers many times a day.This creates confusion as we are not knowing who is actually using the license. To automate this I plan to make a simple application wherein I'll monitor the connection to that particular matlab server and see which user has actually hooked up a license if a socket to that server:port becomes alive. Then I would start broadcasting to the rest of the users that this user is using the License. This can be achieved my making a service that would feed a frontend application with the broadcast details which would let people actually know who is using the license. It is a simple License viewer. Since I don't have administrative access to the license server (it is organization wide server) so I just can monitor connections from my system or from a group of users who actually install the service I am planning to make. My only concern now is since I am to use broadcast mode for letting others know I have hooked up a license I would be in trouble with network bandwidth. Does anybody have a better architecture to prevent the broadcast and use some other tricky method.

There is nothing better than a paper and ink bounded book to learn C or in that case any programming language. To start with C please use the The C Programming Language by Schaum Series and move onto The C Programming Language by Dennis Richie and Brian W Kerningham, Pearson Education Publication. But if you still insist on online Sites, best would be to Google the keyword and choose the best site upto your understanding.

Clean the build and rebuild it. sbr file is a source browser file needed to have the enlisting of the constituents of the build.

This 1.8" Harddisks are laptop harddisks placed inside a 2.5" casing containing an IDE to USB interface. They draw power from USB only. you have no sockets to give A/C input.

SMART works over IDE interface. What OP is using is an IDE to USB interface. It is used as a removable storage device

The thing is if there is a Hrd disk problem more or less it will reslt in corrption of Data rather than slow copy. So generally what happens is the inteface is either 1.1 at times or there is severe fragmentation becase external hard disks are more often sbjected to data transactions like a pen drive. I too had the same problem but got rectified. Hitachi Harddisks have the maximum market share in Laptop harddisks. They are really reliable. I know I'm talking on topic without sfficient proof. the OP can verify with other Hardware vendors too.

Might be they have some wrap over class informations written within the COM component. I actually am more like a novice when it comes to COM. Please forgive me :-O

try using it in some other system. If the problem persists then change the USB casing. your Hard Disk has no problem. Don get scared you need not replace it.

It is surprising you got no flames till now. Please ask in Java forums. Codeproject is meant for Visual Studio and .NET reference mainly.
