I am trying to help a friend transfer an old piece (circa 2010) of software for her hair salon.  According to the profile in the mfaslmf directory, the version of Net Express is 040 001 and the Server Express 32/64 editions are 003 001 and 003 010.

When I first moved the directories to the new Win 10 machine I got the error "ASLM: Semaphore failure  Errno:100".  After research, I tried to move the mfaslmf directory to the root with no change.  I then deleted the root directory thinking it would refer back to the original directory under the application.  I then get an error "The license database for the Net Express Application Server has been moved.  Scanned the registry for the obvious names, but I am stumped.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Firstly, there is currently no version of Net Express or Application Server/Server for COBOL that is officially supported under Windows 10, although some customers do run the current version 5.1 with wrappacks installed without a problem. I do not know if the 4.0 product will even install there.

Secondly, You cannot simply copy the license database from one machine to another. You need to use the Apptrack program to uninstall the license on the old machine and then use Apptrack on the new computer to install the license there. This will create a new license database on that machine. This should be covered in the Net Express docs under that Application Server or Deployment sections.
