Licence Key for the JobScheduler
Question:
JobScheduler asks for a licence key, isn't this software Open Source?
Answer:
Running JobScheduler on Unix with the binary file ./bin/scheduler
or on Windows with the file ./bin/scheduler.exe
will result in the error message:
SOS-1000 No licence key was found or licence key has expired. Please contact your systems
administrator or Software- und Organisations-Service GmbH, Fax +49 (30) 861 33 35,
Mail info@sos-berlin.com [Scheduler].
To start JobScheduler use the shell script ./bin/jobscheduler.sh
(Unix) or ./bin/jobscheduler.cmd
(Windows). The binary files are parametrised by the start script. One of the parameters (-sos.ini=...
) in the start script addresses the licence file ./config/sos.ini
,that contains a free licence key for the GPL version of JobScheduler.
There is no difference between GPL and commercially supported versions, in fact this is a technical licence key that helps us to identify commercial customers in case of support incidents.
