move PDMWorks Vault

move PDMWorks Vault

move PDMWorks Vault

(OP)
We have recently made some changes to our network (including the machine which is our PDMWorks vault server) and I am having issues getting our vault service started after the changes.

The vault still resides on the same physical machine, but the machine has a new host name.  I've seen a document on the SWX website stating that I need a new reg code in order to get the vault running again, but I'm wondering whether this still applies because it says to request a new reg code by sending an e-mail to a designsourcetech.com address.  Does anyone know if I am going to need a new reg code?

I've placed a call to our VAR, but I haven't heard back yet and I'm wondering if there are other things I can be trying in the mean time.

Thanks,
Dave Gowans

RE: move PDMWorks Vault

When you login to PDMW, did you try changing the server name?

My problem is that I can't even get the vault service started after re-installing the PDMWorks server.  Once the PDMWorks service is started I know I'll have to point the clients to a new location......

Thanks,

RE: move PDMWorks Vault

I have not heard of gettign a new Reg code if you changed Servers. I have if you change Version (SW versions that is) not machines.

Where did you read that at? Please post link.

RE: move PDMWorks Vault

dgowans,

It sounds like you're running stand-alone PDMWorks licenses; is that correct?  If so, you are right; you'll need a new reg code to start the server.
