Config Service reaching out to time servers on Port 13

PROBLEM

The Config Service is constantly reaching out to time servers on Port 13. 

CAUSE

The Desaware licensing module maintains a connection to time servers when set to a Demo license.  When a license is then transferred to a full on, this functionality is left running in the background.

RESOLUTION

If this polling of time servers needs to be stopped, we have added a manual configuration in 6.0.2.0 to do so.

NOTE: There is a service restart required in this fix.  We recommend performing this outside business hours or during a scheduled maintenance window to avoid service interruption.  In the event that you must perform this during business hours, you will find that agents are unable to log in/out of any tools for 30 to 60 seconds when you restart the Config service.  In some cases they may need to log in again once it has restarted.
