Summary

AutoPass is now used for licensing in Connect-it 3.90. However, Connect-it can be installed on many machines. Normally, when requesting an AutoPass license, it's IP specific. We'd like a generic license to be used on multiple machines just like the previous versions of Connect-it.

Question

In previous versions of Connect-it,   the same license file could be shared by simply copying the license information and pasting it into the various Connect-it installations on the different machines. Another method is to simply install Connect-it and copy the license.txt file to the various machines in an automated fashion.  This is the preferred method of sharing the license file.

Connect-it 3.90 uses AutoPass which is a different method for delivering the licenses. When Connect-it 3.90 is installed the first time, a license is requested electronically from HP and downloaded to the correct file automatically. The information for the initial license (good for 60 days) contains the IP address of the machine where Connect-it 3.90 was installed. This poses a problem.

There may be many machines where Connect-it is installed and requesting a separate license per machine could be very tedious. An automated license delivery method would be a good method to use if possible.
