Make sure to tell VSS how many exams are affected by the power outage. VSS will provide you with a multi-pass authorization code that can be used to restart each affected exam. However, if more exams become affected by the outage than the number you told VSS, the multi-pass authorization code will run out before all of the affected exams can be restarted. If this occurs, you will need to call VSS again and get a new authorization code in order to restart the remaining affected exams.

If you have only started and used the multi-pass authorization code on one workstation, you will not be required to use the code on any of the remaining workstations, unless the number of authorizations has run out.
