Hello, How is the license limited? Is there a time limit after installation, a due date, or just limited to the early version? Kind regards, Richard

It's limited in time (see above) and limited in the sense that the license only enables SQLite as storage engine for the Uniface repository and for application data.  In the Product Availability Matrix you will find that the Uniface 10 Web Edition also supports Oracle 12c and MS SQL 2012. If you have a need to store the Uniface repository or your application's data in either of these DBMS's, contact your account manager to request a license that includes these DBMS connectors.

Hi,   From the surface it looks like you've followed the steps correctly. Please note that in the mean time you should have requested & downloaded version 10.1.02 for a valild license.   Couple of questions:

  • Can you confirm that you've put the line in the [SETTINGS] section?
  • Can you confirm you've edited the correct usys.asn file? (Put some rubbish in the file and check whether an error is reported at startup of the IDE).

If the above are correct, please forward the license file you've been using to us, so we can verify the behavior.   Regards, Henk van der Veer

Hi, Thanks for the additional info. The problem here is that there currently is no 64-bit version of the IDE (Development Environment) - and therefore no license feature for a 64-bit IDE (UDEVW64). The 64-bit version of the Uniface 10 Web Edition only includes the runtime environment. So please install the 32-bit version and chose the suite "Development 32-bit". Hope this helps.
