  • 1.  When did Application Server Configuration begin to use up a Sage User License?

    Posted 09-24-2024 11:20

    Still learning the protocol of posting either here or on Sage City, but I'll take the chance that it's okay to do both. Didn't it used to be possible to open the Application Server Configuration program even if there wasn't an available license? It obviously is not possible in the last few versions.

    I remember a couple years ago that Sage said they closed a loophole about an extra license being available... this might be the consequence.  They have been very secretive about the licensing control, even when asked specifically.  Good luck on getting an answer.

    Feel free to cross post here (where only 90M members can see it, depending on the community you choose to post in) and on SC (where Sage / the public can see it).  Different audiences.

    Thanks Kevin,

    I remember when Sage came out with the EES (Extended Enterprise Suite) and wanted everyone to get Sage CRM and integrate it with Sage 100. They started issuing an "extra" license at about that time, I think. Interesting that they say they "closed a loophole", when access to neither Master Console nor Application Server Configuration can actually launch Sage tasks or access Sage company data.

    FWIW, both Ronnie Aspe and Nathan Shaw replied to my Sage City post. I also posted this on Sage 100 Ideas. I really think there should be a way to troubleshoot why all the licenses are used up, especially when "they" swear they don't have that many users in - and it's not always possible to find someone who has access to Master Console. I know I can close a PVXWIN32 on the server (for Advanced systems), but without MC I can't tell which of those might be doing data entry.
