Hi Ian, Greg, et al.,
SSH Secure Shell version 3.0 handles licenses
differently than previous versions did.
Uninstall all instances of SSH Secure Shell
using Add/Remove programs. Then go to
ftp://ftp.ssh.com/pub/ssh and download the
SSH Windows client 3.0 binary found there.
SSH Secure Shell Windows client 3.0 (Build 199)
and later works the following way:
- If the installation package does not contain a
license.dat file at all, the software will run
in non-commercial mode.
For users, the most visible change is that
the non-commercial version of SSH Secure Shell Windows
Client does not require a license.dat file any more.
Previously all non-commercial users had to apply for
a license from our ecommerce site.
If you downloaded a version prior to Build 199,
please discard that binary and download Build 199
instead. If you have a license.dat file in the install
path for SSH Secure Shell, please rename or move that
file elsewhere so that the software will not attempt
to use it.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Steph
