Such an error message typically arises when a user does not exit
Stata cleanly.  For example, a user might be running the console
version of Stata for Unix in an xterm, and that user then closes
the xterm without first exiting Stata.  The Stata process is killed
by the operating system in that case, and it never has a chance to
tell the license tracker that that user is no longer using Stata.

The license tracker is smart and eventually is able to determine that
that instance of Stata is no longer active, and the problem corrects
itself.  To prevent this problem, users should make sure to exit
Stata cleanly and to not just log out of their session or kill Stata
in some other manner.

Our Technical Services department is contacting Roberto privately
for more information to help him resolve the problem.
