Watcom 10.6 Licenses Question

We have a QNX 4.23A server, supporting a small number of QNX nodes (4) which
boot from the server. I have added two additional QNX 4.23A nodes, which
have full QNX installations on hard disk.

The server has at least 4 Watcom 10.6 C licenses, and I have another 3
Watcom licenses for our stand-alone QNX system. However, the server and it’s
diskless nodes only ‘see’ 6 licenses (when I type “licinfo -a”, whereas the
other two nodes see only 5 licenses.

I copied the four wcc* files from /etc/licenses from the server to the other
2 nodes, and copied the 3 wcc* files from /etc/licenses to the other 2 nodes
(and ran license -r on each). Shouldn’t this cause all QNX stations to see 7
licenses?

Thanks,

Dale Pischke

PS: the /.license file on the server also has two wcc.* and wpp.* entries.
Does this mean the server really has 6 licenses? Is this an example of ‘old’
license vs. ‘new’ license types?

Old licenses (the ones in /etc/licenses ) should be replicated via
the license utility, not cp. cp will mangle them unless some trickery
is invoked.

Thanks for the info. Transfering the old style licenses with the license
command worked great.
Also found that this was well documented in 0n-line help (oops).
