  • License Manager

    From the Select New License function.

Solving

To update or renew your SYSPRO license, run the Company Setup program from the SYSPRO login dialog (before logging into SYSPRO) and select the License Manager option from the toolbar.

If this is the first time you are accessing the License Manager program, a system message is displayed advising that a license doesn't exist in the AdmSystemLicense table of the system-wide database.

Select OK to proceed, then locate and select the appropriate License.xml file.

The program then displays any existing license details under the Current values column and the newly selected license details under the New values column.

Select one of the following options from the toolbar (depending on your requirements) to apply the new license:

  • Apply to All Companies
  • Apply to Selected Companies

For any subsequent run of the License Manager program, the existing license details are displayed under the Current values column.

To select a new License.xml file, use the Select New License function.

After selecting the applicable license file, the program prompts you to update your IMPACT.INI and apply the license to all companies.

You can select to proceed, or decline the prompt in order to return to the main screen. The program then displays the existing license details under the Current values column and the newly selected license details under the New values column.

You can then use one of the toolbar functions to apply the license as per your requirements.

The following occurs when you apply a new license (using the License Manager program):

  1. The selected license is saved in the AdmSystemLicense table of your system-wide database.

  2. A copy of the selected License.xml file is saved with a unique file name in the \Work\license.sav folder.

  3. Your IMPACT.INI file is updated with the latest license information.

  4. The companies with a matching company name in the new license are updated with the license details.

A confirmation message is displayed when the process completes and the program then exits.

For diagnostics purposes, a log file (_license_update_log.txt) is created in the \Base\Settings folder on the application server that contains details of each company processed, as well as an indication of whether the update was successful.

If you launched this program from the Select New License function of the License Manager program, then you are returned to the License Manager to apply the license to your companies.

If you launched this program from the e.net License Apportionment program, then you are returned to that program to apportion your licenses for Business Objects, Web-based Applications and e.net Classes (e.net Classes).
