### Key Lifetime

Once successfully started, the application must periodically confirm its continued existence to the License Manager for network licenses or to the client library in the case of stand-alone licenses. In other words, the application renews the license token. The period of time between renewals is called the license token lifetime or key lifetime. This ensures that the License Manager releases the token and makes it available to another application just in case the original application crashes without releasing the token.
