JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Licensing Disabling Client Licensing for Various Tools Releases (Prior to 9.1.x) (Doc ID 2063072.1)

Last updated on JANUARY 12, 2023

Details

Past releases of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne required that a customer establish licenses before running the product’s client software. The maximum expiration date of any JD Edwards license for the below client software is June 30, 2019. Past that date, releases of EnterpriseOne (prior to Tools Release 8.98) will be license locked for the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Client. The terminology used to describe the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Client includes these alternate terms:

• Development Client
• Web Development Client
• Fat Client
• Workstation

The maximum expiration date of any JD Edwards license for the above client software is June 30, 2019.  Past that date, certain releases of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne will be license locked and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne client will stop working (this does not impact browser-based access). The Technical brief also applies to the Deployment Server.

Note:

1. Can you implement the solution (change JDE.INI settings and copy over new security files), *before* the SPC expiration date? Yes
2. Can you test it by advancing the date past 6/30/2019 to see what is going to happen? Yes
3. How do the steps in the Technical brief stop E1 from using the normal licensing in the E1 fat client and start using BDSEC=ROBIN? If the BDSEC=ROBIN is found, E1 skips the license checks.
