When do entries in USAGE.dat file gets removed?
By default, the license server removes phantom entries every two minutes. you can change the interval by setting APPX_LS_INTERVAL=<some_number_of_seconds> (where <some_number_of_seconds> is less than 600). The default is 120 (two minutes). Note that Appx won't let you go more than 10 minutes (600 seconds) between refreshes.
If you have an env. variable named APPX_LS_NO_GHOSTS, the license server won't remove phantom entries from the USAGE file.
Phantom entries are always ignored when Appx counts user rights, so, even if you have some phantom entries, they won't cause you any problems. Of course, if your USAGE file grows to some huge size, Appx will take longer to start and end, but you'd have to have a *really* big USAGE file before you noticed a problem.
The entries will not be removed from the USAGE file if you are running a single or promo license.
