AS> - It creates an EMPTY mylicense.ROTATE file !? That is a signal to the Persistent instance. Under normal conditions the persistent server will see this file, delete it, and process the command it represents. When the issuing instance sees the file dissapear - or times out - then it returns. AS> - It does NOT rename the active log and continues to use it. This means that the Persistent instance did not recognize or process the command. When you issued the command it returned after 30 seconds or so simply because it had finished waiting - there is a time-out. What version operating system are you using? What does your licenseid.persistent.stat file contain? If you run your sniffer exe from the command line with no parameters what is the build information?
