Corporate license on a USB drive, offline machines

Hi,

We use LogViewPlus daily with a corporate license.

Some machines we service cannot have software installed. We would like to carry LogViewPlus on a USB drive with our servicing tools.

I installed it on a USB drive and tested it. It works very well. This was with the trial version. I can activate it, but I am concerned the license will be stored on the machine and not on the USB drive.

I saw your reply here: https://www.logviewplus.com/support/67/portable-version Copying the install folder does not work, because several files go into the GAC. Installing directly onto the USB drive did work for me in the trial.

Where is the license read from? Can it travel with the USB drive, or is it written to the machine? Several technicians would use the same toolkit, on machines that are not on our domain. What do you recommend?

Thanks, arthur

Hi Arthur,

Thanks for reaching out. I am glad to hear you are having success running from a USB drive. This is not a scenario that we test for or support - but it's good to know it works.

A issued license key is valid only for a specific machine, so I am not sure how that will work in your scenario. The license key stored in:

%AppData%\LogViewPlus\license.dat

We do offer machine license keys which can accept a wild card. For example a key for "Server*" would be allowed on machine "Server001". This license type is only available to users who purchase a License Pack. If you have a License Pack, please contact me offline and provide either an active directory domain name or a wild card pattern.

Hope that helps,

Toby
