Deployment needs Cutom Editor liicense number.

[jvh75021]

I have an NI Developer Suite, 3Q2009, which has 3 serial numbers: one for the suite, one for the deployment engine, and one for the debug environment. While trying to install a deployment I get a complaint about a license for a Custom Sequence Editor. Seems the Suite license number would cover this. No?

thanx,

When you try to activate the license, are you selecting all 4 options? With my deployments, in the license manager I select only the base engine and activate that. I don't know if the TestStand option to the Dev suite includes those 3 licenses or whether you purchased them separately but yes, the custom sequence editor does have it's own license.

I checked all the options when installing the deployment because of past difficulties in limited deployments. Apparently the contractor who developed the package used a custom sequence. That seems to be OK so I will just not try to activate it anymore as we cannot justify its high cost for the insignificant modifications that have been made.

Thanks for posting.

The license for the custom sequence editor has absolutely nothing to do with a custom sequence. The sequence editor allows you to create and deploy an editor to developers instead of the full development system.

What is in a name? How silly of me to think something named "Custom Sequence Editor" would be used to edit something like a sequential model sequence or the like.

Well, when you open TestStand development, you see at the top - "Sequence Editor" so to me, Custom Sequence Editor is not confusing.

I think we should be able to use parenthesis in English just like C/C#/C++.  That way we could disambiguate (Custom Sequence) Editor from Custom (Sequence Editor). 🙂

Prezactly, cause I can't find Custom, Sequence, or Editor in my precedence chart.
