Login Process
A progress dialog will appear. The first time logging in to Lucity.exe will take a bit longer than subsequent logins as the DLLs must be loaded into memory. Once they have been loaded, Windows keeps the DLLs in memory until the machine is rebooted (or the DLLs have not been used for a long time). Several messages will appear during the login process:
"Initializing License Manager 1 of 2" - This indicates that Lucity.exe has started loading some of the .Net DLLs.
"Initializing License Manager 2 of 2" - This indicates that Lucity.exe is loading more of the .Net DLLs and will then copy config files from the network if needed.
"Logging on to Lucity Framework" - This indicates Lucity.exe is loading the remainder of the .Net DLLs. It will also create a database connection, connect, and run 5 to 10 queries.
