Er, I recall you posting a while back that you were having problems with the license manager truncating your hostname, but that you got past that. However I never heard anything more from you on that, so I just assumed that you had it working. > BTW, this is genuine licensed version, NOT the demo. Does the license manager actually start and run? (You may not need the license server per se. if you're running on the machine the license is for.) Do you still have the URL for the license manager vendor that you posted a while back? > -john -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "wherever you go, there you are" - Buckaroo Banzai [[
