unitlog 1.1

1.0 MB · 19 Jun 2009 · md5 d33698852ceb · licence per site · shelf 4

windowsretiredwrites nothing

Refreshes a licence token over a modem line, at night.

unitlog dial --device /dev/ttyS0
no carrier — the licences moved to TCP in 2009

Note from the shelf row: superseded in 2009

Before you install

  • Runs on: Windows. the application must be 4.0.7 to 4.1.6.
  • Space: about 1.0 MB for the download, plus [WORKING SPACE] while it runs.
  • Rights: an ordinary user account; no elevation needed
  • Know first: [PREREQUISITE] — what has to be true before this tool will run at all.

Download and verify

Take the build for your platform from the [SHARE] and check it against the digest on the shelf row before you unpack anything.

certutil -hashfile unitlog-1.1-win64.zip

Expected: d33698852ceb. The shelf row carries the same digest.

Install

Copy it into place and put it on the path. Nothing here installs a service or a scheduled task.

Windows

Unpack the zip, then:

xcopy unitlog-1.1-win64 C:\Tools\unitlog /E /I
setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Tools\unitlog"
unitlog --version

Check it worked

Check the version first, then run the one command the tool exists for:

unitlog --version
unitlog dial --device /dev/ttyS0
no carrier — the licences moved to TCP in 2009

Expected output is the line shown above; anything else means [TO DO: write the failure list].

Removing it

Delete the folder and drop the path entry. The tool keeps no state of its own.

rmdir /s /q C:\Tools\unitlog

If it goes wrong

  • [KNOWN FAILURE 1] — the usual fixes for this tool have not been written down yet. Add them the second time somebody hits one.
  • Wrong error number or a fault you cannot name: run the tool's own diagnostic first (shelf row).
  • Before any repair that writes to a store, take the export — backoff is the tool for it.
