Advise on license & database modell

[maestr0]

Hi,

I have a license for RD 2019 which expired March 3, 2019. Currently I'm using RD locally on a Win 10 PC. Because of increased home office, I need to share this PC with more people now. I would like to use RD with a central database, so I can also use the configured connection from my laptop. I will be the only one connecting to the database (one concurrent user).

I'm perfectly happy with the current feature set which comes with RD 2019, so wenn possible I would like to keep the current (expired) license. When I try to install a new instance on the database with the expired license, it says just that: expired. With RD 2012 which I have used as well in the past, this was still possible (install the database with the expired license).

Is there indeed no way to use my current expired license other than on my Win 10 PC? In case I need to go for a new license, which one should I go for (will fulfill my needs)?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Sander.

It should be possible to create a new database - the license do not really expire - you can't use any newer versions of the program if you are out of the maintenance period - can you tell me the version number you are currently using?

Hi Oliver,

I figured it out. I was under the impression, that I had a license for version 2019 (including all patches for version 2019). I originally installed the latest 2019 (SP6) on my laptop and there the license couldn't be imported. I now understand that I can only install support packages that were released during my license period. This means I can only go up to 2019 SP2 (after that my license expired). Deleted SP6, reinstalled with SP2 and there the license could be imported.

Happy customer. Thanks!

Sander.
