Daryo
: the translation in itself is fine, but your explanation is about a different/wrong kind of "clients" [SOFTWARE in a computer network based on a "server-client" architecture NOT real people/companies!!!]

Tony M
: The misleading 'faux ami' here is 'clients'; generally, in a G/P or retail context, they would be 'customers', and had you started from there, you wouldn't have turned up all these misleading references about IT with its clients/servers.

: inactive works fine. dormant is used too but much less frequently. however clients is definitely wrong. unless it's referring to a law firm......
