License problems with informix net products on rm400 server
Posted in 1997
Hello there,
i've some strange problems with client access from Windows95 to an
5.0x SE database server on a siemens rm400 system.
Products on the rm400 are 4.11UC3 developement tools and the 5.08UD1
SE engine. According to the readme files which comes with the two
tapes, i installed first tools message files and then server messages
files. Now i installed the developement tools, then the SE and at last
the net component. Finally, i had to install a siemens license disk
(32 user license). All steps are done with pkgadd.
The clients are using the ESQL/C runtime 7.x. Also i've installed the
dbaccess tool.
I did the necessary settings in the windows services and hosts file
and also the setting in informix\\etc\\sqlhosts.
On the server machine, i wrote a startup files for the sqlexecd which
makes the appropiate setting for SQLEXEC and starts sqlexecd. I'm
using port 1540 for the connection.
What happens when a client tries to access the database server is the
following.
On the client side, i always get error -928 (database server not
licensed for remote data distribution).
The sqlexecd on the server side shows me an entry like "sqlexecd pc72
kgs -p" but nothing about any missing license.
I really have no idea if i'm missing some very important part during
the installation or if this dammed key system has some serious bugs.
Greetings, Joerg
