Are SWx licenses "CD specific"?
Are SWx licenses "CD specific"?
(OP)
We've got 8 or 9 licenses here. Three of us have tried to upgrade to SW07, sp5. Only one of us was able to install it successfully. Mine said it couldn't find an i386 file somewhere. Another person had a differnt error.
The only difference was that the one gy who pulled it off, used the same DVD that he used for hs original install. (Long story but with desks moving around etc, the SWx boxes all got mixed up).
But I didn't think that mattered. I was pretty sur that at least with SW2005, it didn't really matter. The individual license ID was only really verified for the initial install.
Sufficed to say, with SW2005, I never had ANY trouble installing SP's. This is my first attempt at installing a SW07 sp, and now I'm having trouble. And the only thing I can think is that I'm using the wrong DVD...

As far as I know, SW has never been CD specific. The registration codes, however, are keyed to the serial numbers. Back in 98 a coworker decoded the relationship between the two just for kicks...

I'm only trying to go from SW07 sp4 to SW07 sp5.....(with SW05, I was only referring to past experience at another job).
I downloaded the SP upgrade from the SWx site. I plinked in the dvd when prompted, and it can't find an i386 file....
Meh....I'll live with sp4 for now...
