We have GOT to solve this. The license file has timed out AGAIN on a
production server. We do not know this happens until a user tells us.
We could write something that checks the license at an interval, but
we have found this happens mostly after a restart. A4D thinks it is
in DEMO mode for whatever reason.
We are now writing an On Server Start that checks at the start using
the plugin commands. But I have to ask, why is this necessary? Even
if it DOES find that it is in Demo mode, what then? It certainly
SHOULDN'T be in demo mode - we have a license and it works _most_ of
the time.
Is it possible this has to do with 2004 and starting from a Mac
StartupItem as registered from 4D Server? Maybe it does not have some
permissions when started as a service? Now that I think about it,
that must be part of the issue. When it times out, we restart the 4D
Server, it seems to register correctly - we do not restart it from the
service (i.e. SystemStarter).
I would also like to request the ability (if it is not there already)
to change the demo-license-timeout result screen. It is VERY
unprofessional for our clients customers to see this screen if
something goes wrong. We have different error pages, but the
demo-license-timeout is displayed before this appears.
PLEASE help us to find this Aparajita. We are continuing to develop
applications in A4D, we have another big one to deploy for the same
client in Jan, and they are NOT happy. Thanks, I appreciate your
attention.

Active4D uses native OS calls to determine the ethernet interfaces,
it doesn't ask 4D.

Well, the Active4D plugin command A4D GET LICENSE INFO _should_ work
correctly.
