Automatic license Transfer

(1/2) > >>

trymes:
I am really sick of having to move my license into a new version of QM every time yum updates it. Why can't the license be stored in a Database or somewhere else that doesn't require manual intervention at every upgrade?

Just a thought,

Tom

QueueMetrics:
The reason why is that when you install a new system, it will have a license key embedded. Otherwise the oldest license would be copied over (even if expired).

trymes:
I don't understand. Why couldn't a post-install script copy the file from a previous installation if it existed? If the key is expired, you are no worse off than you were to start, as your old copy was expired, too, and you were going to have to manually update it anyway.

Maybe even a step added to the GUI (say as part of dbtest?) that would allow you to clikc and have the file moved? Better yet, follow the standard method of saving the new config file as filename.rpmnew and keeping the old one. That would require a new location for the file, but...

Maybe you could store the license in the DB?

It's really annoying to have to move the license with each upgrade. I have never seen another piece of software where this is needed.

Tom

QueueMetrics:
Yes I agree. We really need to make it better.

trymes:
Another side effect I noticed of the current method is that the other settings for the software, such as "default queue_log file" are overwritten at each upgrade. If you're using the real-time queue_log feature, this breaks QM until you modify it again.
