Not entirely sure how to reproduce this, did not manage to do it again. I was testing HA (Build 2005) on two SLES 12 machines, I had started a session from one master (Node 1) then trying to reconnect via the other master (Node 2). Got this traceback on Node 2: > 2021-04-15 10:49:39 INFO vsmserver.license: Updating license data from disk to memory > 2021-04-15 10:49:39 INFO vsmserver.license: License summary: 5 concurrent users.

This seems to have been broken since r32077 on bug 5489. So I assume we didn't properly test things then. The scenario for this code is when there is conflicting information between the masters. This is extremely unlikely to happen, but should be possible to simulate using these steps: 1. Stop one master 2. Create a session 3. Stop the second master 4. Kill the session 5. Start the master in 1. 6. Create a session, making sure it gets the same agent and display as in 2. 7. Start the second master At this point both masters want to report to the other they have a new session, however they claim the same agent and display, which is impossible. Hence why the master(s) verify the sessions to see which is still running and which isn't.
