Frequently Asked Questions

Our packaged products include a 30 day test license allowing for them to be installed in SYSPRO and used to determine whether the included functionality is adequate. Note that our MAN product test licenses are limited to a single code or single merge. If extension license codes are required to complete testing, feel free to contact us to arrange associated licenses.

This particular license issue (random characters in “System:” code field) relates to the fact that for SYSPRO 6.1 SP1, we needed to make licensing modifications to our products to accommodate the SYSPRO APP Store licensing. Please FIRST DOWNLOAD the latest version of BTS (make reference to BTS installation manual) and ensure that client is on minimum PORT 007 of SYSPRO 6.1 SP1, ALSO ensure the BTS triggers are pointing to the current version of the trigger programs and that the SYSPRO 6.1 SP1 installation has been installed in a new folder location (BTS triggers MUST NOT point to the old version of the trigger programs on SYSPRO 6.1 that client was running). To automatically correct trigger entries, manually remove the associated triggers and run SITINI program to setup triggers correctly.

Usually encountered when the customer is using one of the MAN products which has the new license solution.

Scenario:
On attempt to relicense BTS, SYSPRO will advise that an upgrade is required, proceed with the upgrade as the process has picked up that the latest version of files for BTS is required and this takes place by a ‘self-healing’ upgrade process where the old files are replaced with newer files as required and the triggers for BTS is also created correctly.

Solution:
1. Always ensure that the latest BTS product has been installed
2. Do not run the “SIT001” program directly but rather run the BTS re-license program “BTPLIC”
