Time Server access

Why does SDM need a valid time and therefore access to a ntp time server?

• Without a valid time all license checks will fail and SDM will stop working
• Running a computer whithout correct time is in general a bad idea

How frequent does SDM need time server access?

• We do recommend that SDM has continued access to a NTP time server
• At least every 7 days a successful time sync should be possible

What if no ntp time server is accessible?

• Then the operation of SDM is not guaranteed.
