Rio & offline licenses

Hi,

We have a scenario as mentioned in this post - http://answers.laserfiche.com/questions/99738/Rio-Deployment--Separate-Environments and are proposing an slightly alternative approach as obtaining any connectivity between the two environments is a virtual impossibility.

Instead we thought we could generate a license via Rio/LFDS, transfer it over to the development environment and allow it to run for 7 days. It would then shut down as the grace period has expired but being a development environment this wouldn't be an issue. Could we then generate a new license manually and apply that, repeating every 7 days?

Thanks,

Nigel.

The grace period kicks in for a valid license if the applications can't contact LFDS to re-validate it. If it can't be validated at all, then they go into unlicensed mode.

You can host your LFDS in the cloud (or any other location that's accessible to both domains).

Further to the above, we tried to generate a license via LFDS and transferring it to the development environment. What we found is that the license was unable to be validated and so a 1hr shutdown timer was invoked which resets each time the server is restarted. Impractical for a production environment but only annoying for a remote development environment.

I can understand why it would be this way as a Rio administrator could generate multiple server licenses and continue to use them so long as a new license is generated every 7 days. However it seems that there should be a better solution to this. Both environments in this case have internet access so something along the lines of cloud based licensing maybe?
