Import Licenses – SYSPRO 8 upward

From SYSPRO 8 and later, you may import the licenses via a supplied .CSV file.
Copy the SourceITLicenses.csv file as supplied by Source IT into the SYSPRO\Work folder on the SYSPRO server.
When you run the BTS Relicense option from the BTS Setup menu, you will observe an “Import” button below the “Variable Details” as per Figure 5 below.

Figure 5

When you click on the “Import” button, the process will attempt to import the licenses as per the SourceITLicenses.csv file and a summary will be displayed showing how many licenses were imported as per Figure 6.

Figure 6

If the SourceITLicenses.csv file is not in the SYSPRO/Work folder, the following message as per Figure 7 would be seen.

Figure 7

If the import process encounters errors on the import file, a message as per Figure 8 will be displayed and the import process will prompt the user whether to continue importing or not. Note that all the preceding valid licenses would have been updated into the BTS license file and if the user selects “No”, the displayed license and subsequent licenses would not be updated. Selecting “Yes” to continue the import would proceed with the subsequent licenses but the license as dispalyed in the error mesage would not be updated.

Once errors have been encountered during the import, the message as per Figure 9 would be displayed.
