Re: Is RDi 9.5, RDP 8.0 or even WDSCi 7.0 still in use? -- WDSCI-L

Maybe it is time to take a look at ILEditor (free or fee versions) https://ileditor.dev/ <https://ileditor.dev/> or miWorkplace (https://miworkplace.com/ <https://miworkplace.com/>)

Or the plugins for Visual Code or ...

It is such a pity that IBm chose to use the registry - particularly considering that it is the root of most windows evils.

I tried both ways (from RDi and from IBM installation manager). Neither of them gave me an option to install the key using laptop 2.

I guess I am going to accept defeat on this one. What a shame. I was really hoping I could get it working and justify the purchase.

If anyone can figure out how to get it to work 100% from a thumb drive so NOTHING is stored on my client's laptops, please let me know and I will revisit the topic. Again, I will emphasize, I can't put ANYTHING on the client's laptop...company policy and reason for dismissal. Also, I do not have admin authority on the laptop to install it anyhow. My only option is to install it to a removable device which can be plugged into the laptop and will work AS IS.

I have been counselled that it is far better to start IBM Installation
Manager from Windows, than to use the Help>Manage Licenses on Windows as
the UAC can get you into trouble in some scenarios.

The license jar can be pointed to by either IBM Installation

or from RDi Help>Manage Licenses [2][5]https://imgur.com/BF65H7E
