Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    A5V9 Runtime License Requested

    So, I just distributed an app in A5V9.

    The customer installed it but when executed, l it requested a runtime license #.

    While I provided mine, is this specific to Version 9 ?

    Is pricing and runtime distribution still an issue from some of the posts I read from earlier this year ?

    Thanks for anyone who pcan provide a bit of insight.

    What, exactly, do you have? I installed A5v9 RT on my computer at work and I did not need a run time license. I've had the RT for A5v4, A5v4.5, A5v6, A5v7, A5v8 and A5v9 and I've never needed a license for it. That's the purpose of RT. The license is for the full version.

      Ken,

      I agree. Never had this problem with any other version back through the old Alpha/4 days.

      Currently on: A5V9 Standard Build 1772 with System Addins: Build 3208.

      I copied the SETUP.EXE off to a thumb drive and installed on a desktop in the office. No license # requested.

          Larry,

          Do you have the runtime or the rune engine? I believe the latter requires a license number to be entered and the former needs a user count unlock code. I'm not sure if things have changed as I know from the forum there have been issues with applying these codes.

          Alpha have the following on their website for the runtime.

          When you purchase the Alpha Five Runtime, you are issued with a "user count unlock code." The sole purpose of this code is to "unlock" the user count on the Runtime to the concurrent number of users you licensed when you purchased your Runtime license. The "user count unlock code" provides you with new flexibility, because it gives you the ability to add runtimes together to increase your concurrent user count. The "user count unlock code" is in turn provided by you to all your customers. You have complete control over the appearance of the dialog that prompts the user for the "user count unlock code." This dialog box is only displayed once - the first time the user runs your application.

            I purchased the unlimited runtime/run engine for which Alpha recently announced new pricing. Originally it asked for a license #, and then also required activation. Then Alpha turned off the activation requirement in a more recent build, but the license # is still required for each workstation install.

            So I think this is different than the strictly runtime version.

            Bill.
