Re: WDSC7 asking for a license

Thanks Mike,

He's going to try again this weekend and/or next week.

Yes, I'm aware that WDSC is no longer support whereas RDP 8.5 is...

But as a developer, we can install WDSC without asking for the $$$ for RDP :)

Besides, our systems are all v5r4 anyway...

Assuming we end up forced to upgrade our OS before our migration to
SAP on AIX is complete...perhaps we'll be able to get RDp. ..

I will *guess* that the install was started without using the
Run-As-Administrator (R-A-A) action. So in that case just to be sure that
the install of IM and WDSC has a chance to work I would first uninstall
WDSC with IM (starting IM with R-A-A). Then close IM. When IM is closed,
start the launchpad.exe program in the WDSC install image with R-A-A and
install WDSC.

I would be remiss to not point out that WDSC is no longer in service and
was never intended to work on Win 7 but that RDP 8.5 is both currently in
service and will run on Win 7 in 32 or 64 bit environments.

Sent by: wdsci-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx

All,

One of our developers installed WDSC7 on a replacement laptop running

Win7...

The installation went fine, the product seems to start up ok, but he
gets a dialog box...
WebSphere Development Studio Client Product Plug-in is enabled for
licensing but no license key is available.

To purchase a license, please go to

http://www.ibm.com/software/info/ecatalog.

To activate your full product license, see Purchasing and enabling

licenses .

This is the standard edition, I've never had to deal separately with a
license before...

Anybody have any thoughts?

Thanks,
Charles
