7.1 to 8.01 license problem

[scottyoo]

After 8.01 install my other 7.1 NI C# program has license problem.

Nevermind. I grabbed my Assemblies license files off my other dev system.

That is an annoying problem that I've had to deal with as well.

Could you describe what you are trying to do? Are you getting errors running already-built programs after upgrading Measurement Studio? Or, are getting errors trying to re-build programs after upgrading Measurement Studio? Are you trying to rebuild against the prior (not-upgraded) versions of the assemblies?

I have a project from last year that was built with MS 7.1.  I recently installed 8.01.  I had to fix a bug in this project that used 7.1 and got this error.  I can't remember if the error occurred on build or when I ran it.

I had the problem on several machines where I'd do a fresh install and it wouldn't install the license files so I had to store them on the network and paste them where they needed to go.

The license files are dynamically generated by the installer at the end of the installation. During the generation process, some command prompt windows are displayed.

In our testing, we have seen the installer fail to generate the license files we reboot too soon. Is it possible that this occurred in your installation scenarios?

If you happen to install again, could you run the installer from the command line and generate a log to send to us? We would really like to get to the bottom of this issue if possible.

The command line command is:

setup.exe /costlog /l*v [Full path of file to generate]
