  • 1.  Cannot get key to apply permanently for RDI 9.8

    Posted Thu May 11, 2023 02:38 PM

    Other programmers at my company have gotten the key to apply permanently.   but mine falls.       I even had them watch me install the same version they Zip files they used to install and it still falling ...     

    steps taken:

    I downloaded the .zip from IBM web site.

    Then unzipped it.

    Then ran RDI.exe

    Set up a new workspace.

    Extracted locally the .zip 

    Clicked on help/ install new software.

    Clicked on add.

    Clicked on local

    Looked for the license folder

    Clicked on select.

    Clicked on next.

    Restart

    Clicked on help/manage license/

    Clicked on Apply license.

    Restart




    Under Manage license:

    License status   License Status
    Trail                    License key available 

    I have uninstalled from help from the about screen  and reinstalled the key and still failing to go "Permanant"

    Does anyone know how to apply key?

    We have the same issue - it's fine for myself, but one of our developers get's the same results as you.

    You don't mention it, but if he ignores the fact that it's not licensed and tries to connect to our development machine, he gets the following errors:

    We've tried all sorts of things but cannot get his version to work.

    Anyone got any other ideas?

    You can get rid of this messages when you deactivate floating licences:

    I found the issue by looking at the ErrorList View. 

    for some reason it was looking in wrong spot on disk for our key. 

    I rename the folder it was looking in and then went through the steps of applying the key.    

    then everything was good.
