New Server: where does the license file go? (Read 1130 times)

	I've migrated all my Sesame files to a new server, updated the Path setting for each workstation, everything seems to be cool. The executable resides in the Sesame\Program folder on all machines. All my databases are in Sesame\Miara. I've mapped drive letter F to the server C (root), and all my shortcuts, including the one on the server client, run this to fire up the main database: Code C:\Sesame\Program\sesame.exe -Client DC01 -ini_file F:\Sesame\Miara\1150-900-sesame.ini MIARA.db I have rootdirs.ini located in each client Sesame folder as well as Sesame\Program. Now here's what's funky: If I fire off the above shortcut the database opens just fine. But then if I close the database and hit the "Open" button, and navigate to F:\Sesame\Miara and try to open MIARA.db again, I get a "file is locked" error. I have a feeling that it's related to where the license file should be located. Help would be appreciated.

	Hello Scott, When you launch Sesame Client, the path at the top of the Sesame window does it say C:\Sesame\Miara\Miara.db? It should and that is correct. When you open the 'Open' dialog on a client, the C drive you see is the Server's C drive as we are a true Client/Server program. Clients should never have to browse to the F drive in Sesame as that's really just a round about way to get to the C drive on your Server system, which is why you're getting that error message. Sesame has C:\Sesame\Miara\Miara.db open and when you go to open F:\Sesame\Miara\Miara.db it sees the file as locked, as it's already open as C:\Sesame\Miara\Miara.db. My recommendation would be to: On the Server computer ONLY, unmap the F: drive. On the Server computer set the client icon to be Code C:\Sesame\Program\sesame.exe -Client DC01 -ini_file C:\Sesame\Miara\1150-900-sesame.ini MIARA.db -Ray

	Thanks Ray! That makes a lot of sense, and I'll give it a try. But right now I have the license file in a couple of locations. Probably only needs to be in one but I'm not sure where that should be.

Hello Scott, The license file only needs to exist in the directory that is specified as the "Start In:" directory of the Sesame Server icon. That's also the only place the rootdirs.ini file needs to be as well, as the Server controls what directories people can browse to and view. If you got any more questions about what should go where, just let me know. -Ray
