PDK License for 'Local System'

Posted by MikeGrady on 2007-08-29 16:40

I've been using PerlApp/PerlSvc for about a year now to package services and apps for customers. Recently I've begun incorporating various software parts into a continuous integration environment (specifically, CruiseControl) and was wondering if there is a way to get the PDK license 'assigned' to my Local System account?

I like running CruiseControl as a windows service with these credentials for security reasons, but this creates problems - I believe - with the license as the Local System 'user' has no true home directory.

Any advice on getting the license assigned to this account?

As an alternative, I suppose I could create a scheduled task to run with the appropriate credentials (my user acccount) and just 'run' that job when CruiseControl wants to build the perl applications.

find the ActiveState directory under C:\Documents and Settings
It should contain the license file.

Copy this directory under all the the following user directories (also under Documents and Settings)

All Users
<Your Domain>
Default User
LocalService
NetworkService

NOTE: You will likely need to "Show Hidden Files and Folders" to see some of these.
