If an incorrect password is entered, the System login will fail. To prevent brute force attack on the System login, security settings has option to limit number of failed attempts to login (from one IP address); the System answer will delay for a defined time at exceeding number of failed attempts, at the following attempts the System response time will increase proportionally to timeout (for example, t*2+1).

If this number has already been exceeded, the System will display a warning that license number is exceeded and new user cannot enter the System at creation of user account or at adding rights for accessing the system to a user who previously did not have such; correspondingly, System access option is automatically set to Blocked.
