Show detailed information in Help | License Window

Post by JuergenF »

Please show more information in the License Window (Help | License)
- LicenseType (Lite, Standard, Professional, Enterprise )
- Lifetime Updates
- How many RMAs
- Additional Licenses not included in the above scheme

Simply: Show what is purchased

That idea is from here

This will require a lot of work. We will need to implement some on-line database and provide access to it to everyone, plus management, encryption, protections, etc.
I don't think we will do that.

BTW Sometimes its hard to say what exactly set of licenses some company owns even using human intellect. The same company purchases different licenses thru different resellers, using different e-mail addresses, phones, and registration names.

And how does the currently running HostMonitor is able to check what features are enabled by license / how many RMAs are allowed ??

At least some more information must be available without asking the database.

Many thanks

HostMonitor knows about RMA and RCI but it doesn't know anything about your other licenses (e.g. Log Analyzer or second HostMonitor).

Its possible to provide a little more detailed info. On the other hand, what our sales department will do? :wink:

Maybe they can implement some low priority items from the wish-list :wink:

Seriously: I think it is a good idea to see, how many RMAs are still available. The number of used RMAs is one of the things we change from time to time (opening or closing branch offices, adding UNIX machines). The other licenses are more "static"
If that is an easy thing - think about that please.

Many thanks
