z840
Linux

Hi, I have some questions about sender license setup.

Recently, I began to use RGS on following system:
・Sender: ZCentral RB 2020.0 Lnx Sender on hp z840 ws (CentOS 7.5)
・Client: ZCentral RB 2020.0 Lnx Receiver (CentOS) / Win Receiver (Windows 10 Pro)

At the time of sender software installation, I did NOT enter any license information.
But setup is fine, server and 2 clients works great, without limitation/watermark.

I know that sender license is bundled to z840 workstation.
So, is it automatically acquired the valid license in installation process?
(In the log, 'sender License: RGS_Preload' is shown.)
This is not 'Trial license', I suppose.

How to know that I have the valid license or not?

Thanks, in advance.

The Preload license is included with Remote Boost / RGS and is valid for all  Z workstations used as senders.  (Receivers do not need a license.)  If you didn't have a valid license, you would see an overlay with an error message in the Receiver display window.

Hi

Is this relevant?

HP Remote Graphics Software Licensing Guide

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01624233.pdf

 

or have you already covered all the points?

Hi, Lil_Boy_Blue,

 

Downloaded tarball contains the latest document.

I refered the 'Installing HP ZCentral Remote Boost Sender (Linux)'.

ss_HPRGSUserGuide_pdf.jpg

I just kicked 'install.sh' of rhel7-8.

That process checked the dependency and  installed the package 'rgsender-20.0.0.23427-1.x86_64.rpm'.

 

Downloaded package contains:

|--HPRGSUserGuide.pdf
|--README.txt
|--flexlm
| |--flexlm-server.tar.gz
|--rhel6

.. snip
|--rhel7-8
| |--receiver
| | |--LICENSE.txt
| | |--README.txt
| | |--install.sh
| | |--rgreceiver-20.0.0.23427-1.x86_64.rpm
| |--sender
| | |--LICENSE.txt
| | |--README.txt
| | |--install.sh
| | |--rgsender-20.0.0.23427-1.x86_64.rpm
| | |--rgsender-smartcard-20.0.0.23427-1.x86_64.rpm
|--source
| |--rgs_support_libs_src.tar.gz
|--ubuntu
.. snip

 

Just after installation, I  could use it fine.

Several days after, I will try another z840.

Dear BeckyN,

Thank you for your reply.

I'm so happy to hear that my sender license is valid.

I will utilize RGSs for our practical use.

 

Regards.
