Hi Jim - I'll reply inline. And I don't have authority to do any stuff at ESS, so I'm kind in the middle - call that muddle - of things and playing tag.

Vern,

Most of what you're asking has been discussed multiple times.
I have been watching this stuff - somehow it slipped by me or didn't register. Sigh!
On the ACS page there is a tutorial about how to download the first copy and
get the license agreement done. Then download it from the regular site
after that.
I pointed sys admin to that tutorial - said there is no drilldown - could only download the whole product - I told him I thought there were important checkboxes to click, but I've heard nothing more today.
Yes replace the directory.

The licensing happens on the host, not on the client. Exactly the same way
the iSeries Access did it. No need to worry about it on the client.
I looked - did not see anything in WRKLICINF specifically for 5733XJ1 - should I? Does that mean I'm still on the evaluation?
Find the file acslaunch.js and use that. There are a couple of other
"start" files that should not be used.

I've NEVER had to set file associations so something else is going on there.
I mention file associations because my boss was trying to set up shortcuts, and Windows didn't know what to do with the HOD files - I think!! Again, am playing tag here!
On the session manager highlight the session click on Edit/copy and then go
where you want to paste.
That does not let me past as a shortcut.
I've been using this on multiple systems/desktops/tablets etc. now and it
works quite well.

Subject: Access Client Solution question

Hi all

I'm looking at ACS (Access Client Solutions) and finding some hurdles.
This is supposed to be the direction we are to go - and it just doesn't feel
ready, sorry to say.

First, though, our systems guy tried to go to ESS to get the download - said
he runs into the usual takes-forever-to-get-entitled maze - so he found a CD
in our POWER 8 material with 5733XJ1-V1R1M3 on the label.

OK, so I got that installed - I'd had the evaluation version on my PC, and
this new en.html license file does not have the word "evaluation"
anywhere - YAY, I think.

1. I now have v1.1.3 on here

2. I went to the main ACS site and was pointed at an FTP site to get the
latest 1.1.4 update - downloaded that - turns out is the evaluation copy.

3. I am told to replace what I have with the contents of that ZIP file -
problem is, the license file (en.html) in the update is for the evaluation -
if I just replace, I'll lose my license, right?

Along with this, HOW do I know I AM licensed?

4. I'm on Windows - I'm told that to make the file associations, I should go
to the Tools menu of the main GUI and look for the "File associations" item
- it is not there.

So I think, I might need to start as Administrator - no such option
when I right-click on the JAR file.

So I look for the startup programs - ah, there's one for 64-bit Windows
- and I can run it as administrator - LO and BEHOLD - the file associations
option is there - NOT with the text in the GettingStarted file, but close
enough.

5. So can I use the 1.1.4 update to bring this up to date? Or do we have to
get the full 1.1.4 from ESS? How do I keep the licensing?

6. Having to run as admin to set up associations is a pain, at least here
where user-account-control reigns supreme - but maybe a one-time thing, but
general users should not be expected (trusted?) to deal with this

7. Also, I like to set up hot spots in properties - they did not get
converted, so far as I can tell

AND - the setting for Enter at cursor on double-click does NOT work
- entering string at cursor does work. Looks like a support call, unless
someone has an idea.

8. Oh, yeah, from the 5250 manager window, we can't right-click and drag to
make shortcuts - I could do that in the fat client, as I recall.


NOW that's about enough for now!!

Cheers
Vern
