    The new PWXXWINAT07.00 license, which is a PATHWORKS 32 SYSTEM LICENSE.
     
133.2May need a patch to UNIX server...DELNI::GORCZYCAPATHWORKS Prod/Bus MgmtThu Feb 20 1997 13:5722
re: .0

Three points:

	1) .1 is correct

	2) The UNIX server probably needs a patch to successfully provide a
	   PWXXWINAT07.00 license to a PATHWORKS 32 client (...or any other
	   client, for that matter)

	3) Though the PATHWORKS 32 client will, be default, request this 
	   license from a license server, if it does not receive one the client
	   will still function properly.  As is the case for all current and
	   previous PATHWORKS clients, the client does not need to successfully
	   obtain a license key from a license server to function properly.

	   Stated another way, though *legally* the license is required to use
	   the software, operationally it is not.

	   Note that the client can be configure to *not* request this license.

133.3V6.1A?VIRGIN::SUTTERWho are you ??? - I'm BATMAN !!!Fri Feb 21 1997 07:356
I suppose you need the Pathworks UNIX Server V6.1A kit to serve this
license right.

    Thanks for the info. How do you configure the client not to ask for the
    license?

    why not just get the correct license?
    
    (control panel, network, license agent, properties)
    
133.7NT CP ...EEMELI::JVAANANENThe Rally of 1000's of lakesWed Mar 19 1997 07:107

	In NT just disable license requester (lan manager/netware)
	in controlpanel/services - select service - startup - disable

133.8May need client code for server access...DELNI::GORCZYCAPATHWORKS Prod/Bus MgmtWed Mar 19 1997 19:3311
re: .7

Note that, though one *can* use PATHWORKS 32 V7.0 without licensing software
(you *may not* use it without a valid license, however), if the user has
client-based licenses for his/her servers, they will still need this software
to handle *those* licenses.

So, unless the user has server-based licenses, eliminating the client
licensing code is not an option.
