borland.lic

[Jennifer-Ashley]

Hi,

Alongside all the business separation turmoil, I hope someone is monitoring
this ng. Here goes.

I bought JBuilder 2006 Enterprise and installed and registered JBuilder
before I installed and tried to register the Borland Enterprise Server.
(development edition) As I have been told, you have to register JBuilder
when BES is already installed, so that both products can be registered
simultaneously.

Now, Borland support here in The Netherlands say that the only way to undo
this is delete the borland.lic file and register all products again. For me,
that means reregistering Delphi versions from 4 to 2006, a few C++Builders
and JBuilders from version 5 up. I hope there is another way to do this.

Hope you can help me.

TeamB does most of the monitoring (http://www.teamb.com) and the
separation turmoil doesn't really do much for us. ;-)

AFAIK, Borland support is entirely correct. The license manager will
not let you delete a key that has been activated.

I suggest you fire up the license manager and a copy down all those
product keys, and then just get it over with.

My understanding is that what Support told you is incorrect.

Please don't delete your license file until I can confirm that.

I received a response about how to go about doing this without starting from
scratch. I am told this is a verified procedure so it should work:

The way to solve it instead of killing borland.lic is to register the same
JBuilder2006 key again through BES License Registration Tool:

1. Launch Start->All Program->BES AppServer Edition->License Registration
Tool
2. register JB2006 ent key

I just tried that Bill, but when I do that, it replies: "The serial number
that you entered has already been registered." I am beginning to fear that I
indeed will have to delete borland.lic. I wonder if anyone else has come
across this situation.

Are you using the same account to BDN to register this serial number?
If you try to register with same license key with different BDN account
you will get the message that this key was already registered.

I don't even reach that point. The local registration -either with serial
number or activation file- fails.

I tried to remove borland.lic, I even tried to remove all of the .borland
directory, but nothing happens. Every Borland item starts normally and my
BES still opens with an UNLICENSED message. Man, how did I get myself in
such a predicament.

Because Borland have a paranoid and developer-hostile registration system ?

It seems reasonable and it works, but there are still few bugs. Per user
(not per machine, machine&user, or CPU) registration solves a lot of
problems in my company.
