Web Service API - Security Service
§The Security Service allows you to sign in and sign out.
§
§Upon successful sign in, a security ticket is returned.  Copy the ticket to the other service objects to allow them to make API calls.
§
§Vault Workgroup/Collaboration/Professional are license managed.
§A license is consumed as soon as you sign in.
§The license is freed when you sign out.
§After 30 minutes of no API calls, the server automatically logs out.
§If you have multiple connections with the same user name (ex. Inventor and Vault Explorer running at the same time), only 1 license is consumed.
§If you have multiple connections with different user names, each connection consumes a separate license.
§There is an option to sign in as read only.  This will not consume a license.
