[GiDlist] Problems with GiD license

GiDList Archive 2013 - 2005
1

Good morning, GiD team.

I’m working in LINUX Opensuse, with the latest beta version of GiD.
GiD used to work perfectly, but I had another problem: internet didn’t
work in LINUX. In order to solve this problem, I checked the
configuration of net devices in Yast. Comparing my configuration with
the one used by a friend with the same version of Opensuse, we
realized that there was a difference in “Net card
configuration/General/Activate device”. I had the option “Manually”,
and he had “During boot”. I changed this option, and internet started
to work. You must be wondering what does Gid have to do with this.
Well, the problem is that after changing this option, GiD didn’t
recognize the license (I use a portable USB one). First, I tried
asking for a conventional password to register GiD in the professional
version, but it didn´t work. So I tried to undo the change in
the configuration of the net devices, turning it to “Manually” again,
and the problem was solved.

Now I must choose between using GiD and internet, which is quite
annoying. Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

the behavior you are explaining is very strange. My guess is that when YaST configures the network, somehow hassles the usb configuration.



For the local password GiD uses the name of the machine (which can be change by the network configuration) and info of your local hard disk.

But for the USB password, GiD only uses the serial number of the usb memory stick which is read from /proc/bus/usb/devices, and looks for a password file inside the mounted device (if it’s not in $GID/scripts folder).



We know about problems with suse distributions, which do not mount automatically the /proc/bus/usb file system, as explained in http://www.gidhome.com/support_team/faq_toc/faq7.html#Solve%20problems>GiD%20doesn’t%20detect%20the%20USB%20memory%20stick



¿Can you check if the file /proc/bus/usb/devices still exists when you configure your network?

¿Does you usb device appear in the list when you GiD–Help–register?



Best regards,



Miguel Pasenau
