The latest release of Uniface puts you in charge of how licensing-related messages are delivered to your application

We have recently made some modifications to the way license-related messages are delivered to your Uniface application. 

  • If your support eligibility is approaching the end or has ended, we’ve modified how this message is delivered to your application. Because this end date is normally not a concern for the end users of your application, by default, Uniface will no longer send any message about this end date; however, you can use the LM_MAINTENANCE_NOTIFICATION option in the $license_options setting of the assignment file to override this behavior. For example: 

[settings] 
; Notify me 14 days before the end of maintenance date. 
; Then we can renew our maintenance contract in time: 
$license_settings = LM_MAINTENANCE_NOTIFICATION=14 

Also, using the $ioprint 64 assignment file setting or the /pri=64 command-line flag, you can write the actual end date to the log file. This ensures users who are interested in this information will still get notified. 

  • We also enhanced the way license-related messages are delivered, giving you control over delivery methods. By default, these messages are delivered in a popup window on Windows and are written to the logfile on other platforms. And, if you use the LM_TRANSCRIPT setting, these messages can also be written into both the transcript window (on Windows) and the log file. However, if you don’t want a transcript window to pop up, and you do want these messages logged, previously you would have had to implement that yourself using the postmessage functionality and the LM_NOTIFICATION_POSTMESSAGE option. To simplify this process, we’ve introduced the LM_LOGFILE option. Using this option allows you to have these messages only in the log file without a transcript window pop up. For example: 

[settings] 
; Notify me 14 days before our license expires, and log that as well: 
$license_options = LM_NOTIFICATION=14, LM_TRANSCRIPT=Off, LM_LOGFILE=On 

  • You can now use the LM_TRANSCRIPT and LM_LOGFILE options in conjunction with LM_NOTIFICATION_POSTMESSAGE to have the license message sent to your application, and have it logged in the log file and/or in the transcript window. 

We highly recommend that you upgrade your Uniface deployment to take advantage of these valuable updates.
