Dear Vicky This is a probably a genuine message as usually with OVID your subscription is for a certain number of concurrent users. If that many people are logged on then the massage will appear - after users have logged off other users will be able to log on - I suggest that you leave it for 15 mins before trying again as OVID sessions usually time out after 15 mins. If you're still having problems after that I suggest that you contact OVID. Hope this info helps Regards Sandra Sandra Harrison Library Administrator Trust Library and Information Service Education Resource Centre Birmingham Women's Health Care NHS Trust Metchley Park Lane Edgbaston Birmingham B15 2TG 0121 472 1377 ext 8746 Direct dial 0121 627 5846 Fax 0121 623 6922 www.bwhct.nhs.uk/library-home -----Original Message----- From: UK medical/ health care library community / information workers [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of BOSKETT victoria Sent: 04 October 2007 11:38 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Ovid problems Morning, Has anyone else being experiencing problems with Journals @ OVID (via ATHENS) this morning? I keep getting this message The Ovid software license is exceeded. All user licenses are currently in use. Please try again later. I wondered if this genuinely means there are too many users logged in or if it was more of a widespread issue.
