ok guys... I know that Software Metering in SMS is a nightmare but I mostly have mine working. The problem I am facing is that after registering a product, lets say MS Word 2000, I may have 5 or more variants on the version, which is 9.*.* I am using the partial registration option, but some of the variations still show up under the unlicensed option.
I also have a problem where some programs are not reporting their executable, and/or the report the executable without its extension. Example would be a telnet program we use called Netterm. Sometimes it reports itself as netterm.exe and other times it reports only netterm. I have selected the original option so it pulls the name out of the program header so our more savy users can't get around a block by changing the name of the executable.
Does anyone have any ideas they could share about these problems... Any help would be greatly appreciated.
