I would like to suggest to add a new button in the Evaluation Dialog.cs form to let you go to the web site. Something similar to:

Thanks for the suggestion. We will consider that for the next major release. In the meantime you can just modify the source code that we provide when you purchase ILS. There is no real issue doing this and writing your own user interface as the forms do not contain any significant logic that is likely to be affected by upgrades.

Another question of ILS 5.11. If I set the Max Deauthentications to 2, do I need to generate new validation parameters? If so, what happen with the license keys generated wit ILS 4 that were already installed? Will they recognize the new parameters? Thank you.

[Infralution]

No the Max Deauthentications value is only required by the Authentication Server. Applications compiled against ILS version 4 don't have any option for the user to deauthenticate so this option will simply have no effect.

That particular value only affects deauthentication - but there was no way for users to deauthenticate in Version 4 anyway so it has no effect on version 4. In general however changes that you make to Authentication parameters (like the default MaxAuthentications or MaxDeauthentications values) will affect all licenses (even those issued before the change). Lowering the MaxAuthentications limit for a product will not however invalidate authentications that have already been made for a license key even if there are more authentications for a key than what is now allowed. Note that if you are using a remote authentication database you must use the Authentication > Configure Server menu to upload any changes to parameters to the authentication server after you make them.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. The Authentication parameters are global Product settings, regardless of the type of license. If so, what happens if I need to increase the MaxAuthentications value for only one specific client, but not for all? Is this possible?

Or what happens if the license is a network floating type? I guess the MaxAuthentications and MaxDeauthentications values don't have effect, right?

[Infralution]

If you want to change the authentication limit for just one license key then select the license key and then use the Authentication > Set Limits menu to set the limits for that key.

For floating licenses the Max Authentications/ Max Deauthentications still have a role. They determine how many computers the license server can be installed (typically you would want this to only be one) and how many times the end user can transfer the server license to another computer.
