Accounting License for FMP5

[gergyhead]

I was just thrown onto this project and get some issues sorted out. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to tell which user has what license code? Can it be determined by Machine Name? Can all this be done from the server as users are logged into FMP5?

I need to get a list sorted out of who has what. Anyone know anything about this?

thanks G

There is no way to back this information out of FM. If there was it would be too easy to copy and pirate copies just by looking at a copy on someone's machine. You need to institute a record keeping system which matches install codes to machines and locations. If you have a site license, there is only one code (or a few, if you have multiple FM Server copies, each has a unique code).

Not 100% true.

The Info displays most of the installation code, last 3 numbers are changed to XXX.

Possible solution: start all machines with FM on network and try to install another license number, if it is used you'll know fast
