ca.olf ALP license file - distributed Gen platforms

• Gen - Workstation Toolset

Issue/Introduction

New Gen 8.6 Windows Toolset has been downloaded.
In the previous installation of Gen 8.0, the Windows Toolset was distributed with a "ca.olf" ALP license file.
Is a new ca.olf file needed for the 8.6 installation or can the existing file be used?

Resolution

• As the ALP license FEATURE lines are not Gen version specific,  the ca.olf file can be copied from  Gen 8.0 machine to the Gen 8.6 machine .The license software installation and ca.olf file is normally in the directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\SharedComponents\CA_LIC
  
  
• If the same machine is used  for both 8.6 and 8.0 then no action is needed.
  
  
• In case if any of the ca.olf FEATURE line date fields have already been reached/expired then a new ca.olf will be needed. A new Gen install will not
  complain about missing/expired license file until the 30 day trial period has passed
  
  
• The ca.olf file is machine/user independent so can be copied to and used on any machine where Gen has been installed.
