Meaning of

  • # connected tester clients: shows the amount of testers that are connected to the server.
  • # connected clients: shows the amount of clients connecting to the license server, this will be higher because of SmarTest 8. SmarTest 8 has two clients running on one tester, one is the called TPLF client and the other is the TOOLS client. TPLF handles the most important licenses, without them Smartest would stop right away. TOOLS are for example S&S Licenses, which are optional.
