5.0.15 Filepro, Licensing Question

[Mike Fedkiw]

I wrote to filepro asking about version 5.0.14 that Fairlight mentioned 
and below is the response that I received.

Whatever licensing they were talking about in the email they sent was 
just a little file when I downloaded it. I'm not certain, but I may have 
had to get one of those for the 5.0.09 version that I'm currently using 
when I installed it years ago.

Does anyone know if after installing 5.0.15 on my 2008 server r2 if 
everything's going to work like it does in 5.0.09 as far as the 
licensing that doesn't really work. I have enough licenses for what I 
use but with everyone logging in with RDP I don't think filepro 5.0.09 
has a clue how many licenses I'm actually using.


Thanks, Mike

===================================================

Mike,

We no longer sell or support that version of filePro.  The last 
available version of 5.0 on our website is 5.0.15 and is no longer 
recommended or supported.  There is no charge for this version however 
and if you wish to continue to use this outdated and non-supported 
version, you can download it by using your email and license number at 
http://www.fptech.com/Download/drequest.shtml

BTW - our records show that you did download and activate the license 
for 5.0.15    If you did not install that version or you need to 
download it and install again, you may do so from our website.  The 
license activation instructions are below.

You should contact sales for an upgrade quote to the latest 5.8 version.

Download the install media from 
http://www.fptech.com/Download/drequest.shtml using your email address 
and the license # located on the invoice.   Save this file on your hard 
drive and unzip it into a folder so you can find it when you need it.

You will need a license for the new machine.  We recommend using the 
Hard Drive Volume Number.

Click on Start
Select Run
Type

     cmd

and press OK

This should open a command window.

Make sure you are on the Hard Drive where filePro is installed or to be 
installed.  ie. C: or D: etc.

Type the following:

     dir/w/p

You will see at the top of the window the Volume Serial Number is with 
an 8 character number

Use that 8 character number in the license manager on our website and 
enter it into the appropriate field.

DO NOT ENTER any additional information into the other fields.

Download a new license.

http://fptech.com/Download/lrequest.shtml

Save the new license in a folder called C:\fplicense on your hard 
drive.  DO NOT RENAME THIS FILE.

Install filePro from the CD or install image by clicking on setup.exe 
located in the root folder of the installation.

Make sure to point to the correct location of the fp and filepro 
directories or accept the default for new installation.

When the install asks for the location of the license, point the 
installation to the C:\fplicense folder and select your license.

Accept the rest of the defaults and complete the installation.
