Hi there,

even though we have a current licence for PWB v3, we still get error messages PWB "licence expired" on our library OPAC pcs. The error message appears when there are network difficulties (cannot read from licence server). Doesn't the software also read from a local licence stored on the PC if there are network issues? How can we make sure the error message doesnt come up?

PWB obtains the license information from the INI file that is being used to configure PWB. Normally the INI file that is being used to configure PWB is located in the same folder as the PWB.EXE application in a file called "PWB.INI".

However it is possible to specify an alternate INI file through the command line that starts PWB.

For example:
C:\PWB\PWB.exe /INI=\\server\share\folder\Other.INI

In the above example PWB would read the license information from the "\\server\share\folder\Other.INI" INI file.

Any easy test to determine if PWB is using the INI file you are editing, is to change the home page and restart PWB. If the home page changes then you are editing the INI file PWB is using.
