Hi all, Okay, I now have the following cases:
DynamicConnect and Telnet on PC running Windows 2000 logged in locally - works AccuTerm and Telnet on PC running Windows 2000 logged in locally - works AccuTerm and SSH on PC running Windows 2000 logged in locally - works Accuterm and SSH on PC running Windows 2000 Server logged in via RDP - works DynamicConnect and Telnet on PC running Windows 2000 logged in via RDP - works Accuterm and SSH on PC running Windows 2003 Server Service Pack 1 or 2 - does not work DynamicConnect and Telnet on PC running Windows 2003 Server Service Pack 1 or 2 - does not work Get the following error messages in U2devlic.err file in directory: 11:26:08 06/28/07 pid = 3180 U2GetMachId(): unable to get host information of hostname Error = 131 12:56:16 06/28/07 pid = 1748 U2GetMachId(): unable to get host information of hostname Error = 183 During the uv login process a return is required to continue the login. This is before the license check is done, as if there are no licenses available this is displayed after pressing the return. When System(51) is displayed it shows 0.0.0.0 For the other scenarios which work, no return is required to complete the login process. System(51) displays the correct information and multiple sessions can be established under the same license. Interesting is that I RDP into the box A which is running Windows 2003 Server from my remote office through the corporate firewall and then RDP into box B which is running Windows 2000 and connect via AccuTerm then this works and System(51) gives the information pertaining to box A. However when I try and connect via AccuTerm directly from box A, then it does not. A firewall issue, or a Windows 2003 Server issue. Has anyone got U2 Device Licensing running under Windows 2003 Server or through a firewall? I suspect the U2GetMachId() function is doing something which is getting blocked by something???? What though?? Any ideas anyone??? Cheers, Phil. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ As others have posted: Device Licensing works for both U2 databases as long as you have a license which is one of: * Workgroup * Enterprise * Server with device licensing (a recent offering) In order that this will work you need a TELNET client that supports Device Licensing, and as there have been some changes in DL internals over time they should also concurrent in release - ideally (of course) the latest releases or fairly close. IBM supply SBClient, wIntegrate and Dynamic as Telnet clients that work with DL - on wIntegrate and DC you need to remember to check the "Use Device Licensing on Unix" check box if that is you server platform. DL will also work with UniObjects and ODBC (for example) thought you should read up on the use of subkeys for UO. Some 3rd parties have arrangements with IBM to use the DL software libraries with their software, and they offer DL compatibility with their TELNET clients. It is worth noting the point above though, DL internals have changed over time. You might find that older versions of the TELNET clients may not work correctly froma DL viewpoint with more recent copies of the databases. That being the case then an upgrade from your friendly local TELNET client provider to a current build with updated software should resolve it. Issues which got in the way in the past related mostly to combinations of "stty" settings in Unix, all (even vaguely) recent versions got the code modified so that's not an issue. There was also an issue more recent) where ODBC sessions (for example) used a different DL user pool to TELNET sessions. So ODBC would allow up to 10 sessions as one license, and TELNET would do the same - but each connection would use a separate slot. In those circumstances (for example) one UO and one TELNET would take 2 licenses (fixed). Always a useful test - try using Dynamic Connect from the current client software............that should work fine and act as a check on any 3rd party software. Hoping this answers any queries - please post if any follow-ups.
