Re: [mfg-smartcam] Permanent License Key question

[Scott Nelson]

Thanks John,   I didn't understand.  I have always been using a Permanent license key.  ie a node locked license.  I thought that when I requested a permanent license key it would be a key that was independant from the hardware in the machine, therefore I would be able to change to a new computer or reformat my system at will.    As it turns out, this is not the case.  My request was premature.  I will need to send a new request in now that I have installed on a new system and ended up with a new server code.    My initial concern was that sdrc would someday stop fullfilling key requests and without a hlo I would be left out in the cold.  I assume now that sdrc will continue to issue keys?  I could purchase a hlo I suppose, but I can't justify the cost.   Thanks for your help   ----- Original Message ----- From: John Huston To: Scott Nelson Cc: Smart-Cam Group Sent: Monday, April 10, 2000 11:39 AM Subject: Re: [mfg-smartcam] Permanent License Key question Check this technote out The first part of the Techtip talks about how node locked licensing works.

It seems the same as previouse keys whereby my request included a Server Code based on my old system.  So the new key includes a server code that is different than the code given in my license manager. Any ideas on how this is all supposed to work?
