Wow. I don't see a way to fix the regular method of getting at the IP; it for sure sounds like 7.2 broke it.
Could you code around it? Execute a little program at Login that considers the number of connections in the specific account? Write their WHO info to a file, and make each connection obtain a token. Set the number of tokens at your ceiling for that account. When the tokens run out, they have to wait. You have the inherent security of hashed files not being accessible from *nix or *dos so they couldn't easily hack this. Regular login credentials must first validate anyway, so you'll know who didn't get a token when they wanted to login.... provides a sales opportunity.

We run a "hosted" system, where we have multiple accounts using our application. We need to limit each account to "{X}" number of logins, and need the IP address to perform this function while allowing device licensing. All AccuTerm versions have this problem in UD v7.2, but not in any previous version of UD.

What functions are you using that leverage this IP address? We are using UV 10.1 and Accuterm 2K2 Release 5.2.301 with no issues, but I'm n ot sure we are relying on the IP as you are. -Baker -----Original Message----- From: owner-u2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:owner-u2-us...@listserver.u2ug .org] On Behalf Of Bill Haskett Sent: Monday, April 27, 2009 9:43 AM To: U2 Mail List Subject: [U2] U2 & u2lic.dll I'm using AccuTerm to access UD & UV...have been for years. When I upgraded to UD v7.2 the IP address displayed for anyone connecting to UD via AccuTerm, when device licensing was turned on, is 127.255.255.255. This messes up all functions we use that rely on the IP address, and device licensing. IBM wants an exorbitant amount of money from AccuTerm for a new "u2lic.dll", effectively doubling the cost of AccuTerm. Does this same problem manifest itself in the newest version of UniVerse? As always, thanks.
