178.0. "V5.0 client licenses on pw32" by CIVPR1::DONOVAN () Fri Mar 21 1997 10:39

My customer has installed the V7.0 client services on a win 95 system.  When 
using the licensing agent, in standard default installation, it requests a 
pwlmxxxfp05.00 and the pwxxwinat07.00 license.  

When booting, it fails to obtain the winat license.  When checking 
pathworks server and event log, a pwlmxxxfp05.00 has been granted.  He has 
two types of licenses on the server - pwlmxxxfp05.00 and pwlmdoscc05.00.  
He wishes to request the pwlmdoscc05.00 rather than the server based 
license.  

How?  My customer has read through the documentation, but can't figure out 
how to request this license.  Can this be done?

Thanks!

Becky

PS.  The spd (page 13 spd#56.33.0) says he can continue to use v5.0 client 
licenses to get to V5.0 servers.

    becky,
    
    Baffled as what you mean by 
    "He wishes to request the pwlmdoscc05.00 rather than the server based
    license."
    
    The license yo say your cust has are pwlmxxxfp05.00 and pwlmdoscc05.00
    These licnese are pwlmxxxfp05.00 "Designated access license" which
    allows the cust to attach to the server and store file /print.
    This is for any lm client hence the xxx in the name.
    
    The pwlmdoscc05.00 license now nolonger exists (it allowed use of pw
    s/w on the client (aka CNS lice) and file and print access (aka FPA
    lice)) The pwlmdoscc05.00pwlmdoscc05.00 hes been replaced be 2 licenses
    ie pwxxwinat07.00 reqd to run pw 32 sw on a client and the
    pwlmxxxfp05.00 license whcih allows you to use the pw file server.
    If you use native LM attaches to the server then pwlmxxxfp05.00 is all
    that is needed and if only using pw32 with out accessing a server then
    pwxxwinat07.00 is all that is needed. If doing both then both are
    needed. The ccs license can be substituted for the fpa licenese as it
    pertains the right of access to the server.
    The mention of a server based licnese is a PWPLVMSCU05.00 license and
    not mentions in your note.
    
    I hope this makes it as clear as mud.

178.2Seems simple to me...DELNI::GORCZYCAPATHWORKS Prod/Bus MgmtFri Mar 21 1997 18:2710
re: .0

Maybe a bit clearer...

Go to chapter 4 of the PATHWORKS 32 User's Guide and follow the directions
for using the licensing agent to select the licenses you want to use.

That seems pretty easy...especially since Chapter 4 is 6 whole pages long...

    Also note that, while either an FP05.00 license or a  previously-purchased
    CCS license grants the proper access to the server, they still also
    need the WINAT07.00 license to legally use PATHWORKS 32 software.
