This shuts down the |Tecplot Engine| and releases the |Tecplot License|.
Call this function when your script is finished using |PyTecplot|.
Calling this function is not required. If you do not call this function,
it will be called automatically when your script exists. However, the
|Tecplot License| will not be released until you call this function.
Note that stop() may only be called once during the life of a Python
session. If it has already been called, subsequent calls do nothing.

"""Attempts to acquire the |Tecplot License|
Call this function to attempt to acquire a |Tecplot License|. If
|Tecplot Engine| is not started, this function will start the

This function can be used to re-acquire a license that was released with
`tecplot.session.release_license`.
If the |Tecplot Engine| is currently running, and a
|Tecplot License| has already been acquired, this function has no effect.
Licenses may be acquired and released any number of times during the same

Parameters:
days (`integer <int>`): Number of days to roam.
This will acquire a PyTecplot license and then attempt to set it up for
roaming. The maximum number of days one may roam is typically 90. This

and will affect all subsequent uses of PyTecplot on the local machine.
