1965.0. "ASE functionality in Production Server ?" by FIREBL::LEEDS (From VAXinated to Alphaholic) Thu Mar 20 1997 13:09

For Educational Customers who want to utilize TCR Available Server, they 
have the TCR Production Server license on the Campus Wide Software License 
Agreement (CSLG) - does this include everything they need to do ASE ???  The
individual license for TCR Available Server is not on the CSLG list, but I 
assume that is because all the ASE functionality is already in Production 
Server which they get for free... true ??

Thanks

1965.1	Problems foreseen...	NETRIX::"[email protected]"	Dave Cherkus	`Fri Mar 21 1997 12:03`	6
	The installation scripts check to see which one of the licenses (production, available, mc-driver) and use that to decide which bits to install. I think your proposal won't work. Dave [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]

I think your proposal won't work. > While I appreciate the reply, I need a DEFINITIVE answer from the TCR folks..... we were told by the Sales Hotline that it WILL work, ie: that Production Server includes all the ASE features PLUS the Memory Channel suport. That's why they didn't bother to put Available Server on the CSLG list, 'cause with Production Server, it would be redundant. For those of you not familiar with CSLG, Digital provide FREE licenses for most of our products to Educational accounts, the "Campus-Wide Software License Grant". TCR Production Server is on this list, but not Available Server. So, the bottom line question for the TCR experts: if they have a license for Production Server, and all they want to do is set up an Available Server environment (ie: no Memory Channel), can they ??

1965.4	Yes, it will work, but its not the right solution	NETRIX::"[email protected]"	Gregory P. Myrdal	`Tue Apr 01 1997 11:30`	21
	Arlan, Yes, this can work. The TCR Available Server IS a subset of the TCR Production Server Software package. So with the correct configuration set up you could get the Available Server running with the Production Server PAK. However, this is not supported and may not work with out post install hand configuration work. Please note Dave's reponse (reply .1). The correct and supported way to do this is to get the CSLG to hand out ASE PAKS along with TCR paks. As Dave mentions, the install process keys off of the PAK in order to determine which subsets to lay down and what questions to ask and how to set up the environemnt. TCR and ASE environments are installed differently. So in short, Yes is would work, but No this is the wrong solution. -- Greg [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]
