Maximizer 6.0 SP 3 (Old yea, but it's all we have)
We are trying to set up Maximizer on a pervasive network.
We are using a Novell Client on our server.
------------------------------------------------
Just for some clarifaction in regard to licence information.
We have a 20 user licence - The licence is contained on a Floppy disk.
The Maximizer installation was orginally set up by third party support.
Since then the old Original "Maximizer Gateway" machine has failed and needed to be replaced.
The workbooks were backed up onto our main Novell Server
We now have a new machine that we wish to use as the Gateway.
After we have installed the very first intance of Maximizer onto this machine do we have to:
A: Install the licence diskette onto the "Gateway / server" machine?
B: Install the licence diskette onto EVERY machine that will use Maxizer?
The manual states that after the first installation you should install the licence on that machine, then create the workbooks on that machine which will apply the licence to the workbook.
Does this mean that the licence is applied to the Workbooks and not the Maximizer installations?
Do I also need to keep the workbooks on the same machine that the licence is installed on?
For example.
Our novell server does not have maximizer installed on it, but it does store the workbooks, seing as they were backed up there.
So we have our existing workbooks on Novell.
Do we need to install Maximizer and the licence on the machine that holds the workbooks? - in our case Novell Server.
Would we have to make the machine that holds the workbooks into the gateway?
Or
Can we hold the workbooks on the Novell server, but have another different machine that acts as the gateway?
The manual talks about a file called PVSW.LOC
What exactly is the PVSW.LOC? All I know it is some kind of locater file....
I know this file holds the information for the gateway, yet it seems to be related to the Pervasive Engine.
Any clarification on the Procedure for where the Licence, Workbooks and Gateway are intalled would be greatly appreciated.
The manual is about as useful as a Glass Hammer
Thanks in advance....
