WF4 and WF5 license file...

WF4 and WF5 license file...

WF5 requires a new license file. Is this similar to the past where the
updated WF5 license file WILL also run WF4, 3 or 2??? Does WF5 require
a FlexLM update? I'm just starting to want to run some "testing" on
WF5 but can't cause the rest of our users any trouble.

thanks...

We recently updated our license file to WF5, and we received 2 files, lm_###_standard.txt and lm_###.txt. In the email it mentions that the standard (lm_###_standard.txt) i sbackwards compatible, but does NOT allow license borrowing, if you use license borrowing you will use the other license file (lm_###.txt), however the file which allows license borrowing is NOT backwards compatable. As we do not utilize the license borrowing we installed the standard file and are capable of running WF5, 4, and 3.

Unless something changed, I think that the borrowing file should be
compatible back to WF2. The non-borrow back to the dark ages.
