change number of licencied users
|

| Hi every one,
For a customer, I have to upgrade his licence and increase its max connected
users (ASA8).
I usually do it myself on the client server, on his site, with dblic but in
this case I can't get access physically (and at distance).
I must give to my customers all instructions in order to upgrade the licence
himself.
This is not acceptable in my mind because nothing forbid my customer to
"crack" the max db users to rgeater value than its licence permit to.
Is therere another way the change the max users (per seat) without tell to
my client how to use dblic ?
thanks in advance, any help would be very appreciated.

Do you really think your customer absolutely cannot get DBLIC.EXE
elsewhere ;)?

You may either ask customer to use DBLIC, or do it yourself (customer
sends you his DBSRV8.EXE, you re-license it and send back to the customer).

stupidity of the clients is sometimes a strong base, but even if so, wha=

they hire a new employee who can read the documentation?

| The DB Tools API includes a function for licensing. You could write your
own licensing tool and add tighter control to the licensing.

| For our customers's target, it's enough !
They even call us to switch off their db engine server, so...

| OK but it's doucmented fot C langage only.
We developped in PB ans sometimes, there are few differences of coding
(references, datatype; ...) between the 2 languages.
Do you where can I get an sample code in PB ? Nothing in newsgroups, nothing
found on the web: powerbuilder is very poor with web ressources.

Mostly it would be the callbacks which PB doesn't support. A C wrapper
would be the first step, alas... folks have been asking for this for a
long time, I dunno if anyone has shared their work.

Why don't just write a tiny C program?

| Because we don't want to multiply our dev languages, esaier for maintenance.
Thusly if I use a Sybase tool...

| You have only the two options -- the DBLIC tool or the API. You could
'trust' your customers or implement some licensing scheme that checks
that the number of licensed users is not exceeded.
