Deployment of longrange

[michael-smh]

Hello,

I have deployed our software to a customer ISeries with a Trial installation.
When the customer starts our app form the menu, this error comes on the ISeries axes5250 job.

Required license certificate file /axes/LongRange/certificates/certificate_LTDDE0007.dat could not be found.

This cerificate is for our development-ISeries.
Why did they need this file?

Regards,

Michael

The schema they are trying to execute has been digitally signed with CIK (Customer Identification Key) LTDDE0007 – so it is not a trial mode schema.

When you are executing in trail mode you should not digitally sign a schema. When you first save the schema reply NO to this question …

then the schema can be run on any LongRange system in trial mode. Once you digitally sign a certificate with a CIK it needs to be licensed to run on any server it is installed on.
Whether the target server is in a trial period or not has no effect on executing a digitally signed schema.

There are two ways to resolves this:

(1). Create a new schema and reply NO to the question when saving - so that it is in trial mode.

(2). Contact LANSA licensing at http://www.longrangemobile.com/extendtrial.htm and request a trial extension. Make sure that the LANSA licensing know that you need a license to run schemas signed with CIK=LTDDE0007 – not just a normal TRIAL extension. Supply the CPU details of the customer’s server. LANSA licensing will supply a file named certificates/certificate_LTDDE0007.dat for the customer's server. Install that on the customer’s server using the instructions that will come with it.

Note: There is no way to convert a schema from digitally signed back to TRIAL mode.

If you are a business partner there is another option.

Do not sign digitally schemas that you plan to give to your customers.

Then ask LANSA licensing to give you an extended TRIAL license for your development server - maybe for the next year or two.

Then you can run your TRIAL mode schemas on your server - and so can customers who have LR installed in TRIAL mode.

If you want to use digitally signed schemas you will need to arrange in advance for LANSA licensing to supply the required temporary license allowing CIK=LTDDE0007 signed schemas to execute on the customer's server.
