When I try to open Guest Tracker it says that my license is restricted to X users.

Overview
When you try to enter Guest Tracker after a Windows Operating System crash, you may see the following (or similar) error message:

License Error!

Since Windows crashed, Guest Tracker was not able to perform the normal exit routines and the program thinks that another user is still accessing the database.

WARNING: If you are on a network and not all systems are using the same version of Guest Tracker you may see this error. Be sure all systems are using the same (updated) software version before proceeding.

Solution
It is easy to resolve this issue by running Database Utilities Verify and Compact as described on Pages 294 and 295 of the Guest Tracker User's Guide.  It is highly recommended that you run Verify and Compact whenever the computer system crashes while you are in Guest Tracker.
