application/state/ended/error & USER LIMIT EXCEEDED

[Rodrigo V.]

Hello,

Is it posible to show a 'USER LIMIT EXCEEDED' message in GAS when the application was ended by #user license limit? We try to use application/state/ended/error and some other values at EndingPage Snippet but it looks like no ERROR is raised when the app was ending by license limit.

Thanks!

Hi Rodrigo,

Unfortunately, if your need is to display the FGL error message "user limit exceeded" on browser, there is no solution for the moment.
I invite you to contact your support center if you want us to register a feature request for this.

I'll do it.

Hi there,
Reuben provided this get around which works ok for us. It has to run at the very start of the program before there is any user or screen interactions.
If the function returns true we use "ui.Interface.frontCall" to display a PDF document telling the user the license count had been exceeded and exit the menu system. This works for GAS as well as GDC.

    -- Shouldn't get there but in case we do
    RETURN FALSE
