Hi,

Has anyone had any luck in re-licensing Informix Dynamic 4GL
when upgrading server hardware. The software license installed
some years ago fails after restoring a backup to the new hardware.
Informix tell me they do not have the tools to do it, and refer us to
fourjs.
Fourjs wont do provide an installation key without paying back maintenance.
This software license should not require ongoing fees, to keep it
on new hardware. We have even had some machines where the D4Gl license
fails when you change the IP address. Now with IBM not providing
a service to re-license it any more, we either have to recode and get rid of
D4GL
or pay fourjs back maintenance, and keep it up to date, just to be able to
keep
a license we have already paid for. Does any know if IBM has the ability
to provide D4GL installation keys anymore?
Any suggestions?
