This article better explains the License List (menu pick #1) in AppTrack.

Problem:

The License List (menu pick #1) in AppTrack is informaton-rich, but can be confusing. Can you please explain?

Resolution:

Below is an annotated sample display with notes of explanation.

2006/08/13 09:54:52 Installed Application Server licenses:

----------------------------------------------------------

00001

/product/default

Note: This is an Application Server license (CPU license, unlimited user count) tied to the product in /product/default. The latter is the COBDIR value when the license was installed via AppTrack.

Version ___ of Server Express 32-bit ES MTO

Note: The version is blank because Server Express licenses are not tied to a particular version. For example, when a product is updated from 2.2 to 4.0SP2, the existing license is valid and therefore will not be reissued or supplied with the updated product.

License users: Unlimited CPUs: 100

Duration: Unlimited Server

123456789012TZ

03050 00002 AD9A5 F680. ....

Note: Partial display of the 24 or 32 or 35 character license key.

--------------------------------------------

00002

Version ___ of Server Express 32-bit Edition

License units: 05000 **AS Developer Usage

Note: Developer Usage indicates this is an auto-generated license, created when a license key with s/n 987654321098TZ was installed via either of the utilities in /wherever/mflmf. The number of users shown is five times the number of users on the development license. In this example, the number is 5000, so it was generated from a 1000 user development license.

Duration: Unlimited

Note: Unlimited rather than an expiration date indicates this is a purchased license, not a temporary evaluation key or an emergency issue from SupportLine.

987654321098TZ

Note: This serial number is actually a Server Express license, installed and managed in /wherever/mflmf. The partial key shown has no meaningful relationship to the actual development license key because this was generated automatically.

03030 00000 ABCA6 7540. ....

The AppTrack list display in Server Express 4.0SP1 may repeat the display of N developer usage licenses N times. Ignore the repeats. This is fixed in 4.0SP2 and later versions.
