Here was my response via email: No, you won’t use the machine name. You will use the host name. For example, if the site will be accessed at https://es.mydomain.com then you would enter “es.mydomain.com” for the host name. If you are going to use localhost for testing, then enter localhost. Also, in response to your forum post, the router MAC should have absolutely no effect. This is going to be 100% isolated to the machine and how the IIS has the hostname defined for that website. The MAC address will be for that machine as well, NOT the router. It would be impossible for the router MAC address to be accessed.

Gents, Sorry for the multiple posts before a response, but here goes. So I've determined it's a licensing issue, I must have misconfigured my license file. So now my question is: If my enterprise server is behind a router that is port forwarding to the server, should the mac of the router be used in the license file or the server's mac address? I think this maybe the problem because my host name resolves to the public ip which is located on the router/firewall, which then does the NAT, then it forwards to the server. Sorry about being such a pain, but I haven't been able to find any posts in the forums similar to this. Thanks.

Guys, Sorry about posting to such an old thread, however this is the first time (in a year) that I'm slightly confused and I can't find an answer in your forums (great job). Any way, I'm trying to get ES running on a server and the machine is hosting multiple websites. So, as per the instructions I've: 1. Installed and setup the site on the server. I've created a dns pointer with my isp. 2. i can get the status page up on the server. (Good thing). But it shows I need a license dll. 3. So I've downloaded and installed the license file. my host name matches my dns record (es.raftecho.com) But it still show's I need to activate (i've placed the file in the es \bin folder) 4. I've triple checked all my settings on the client side and the server side. They all match perfectly (however I'll check again). So here's my questions: 1. Since the es site in is a virtual directory will this prevent the license dll from being properly created because it is based upon the host header name or should I use the server's name and directory? 2. On my activation page the license ip is 127.0.0.1 (which, I assume is a default setting) should this matter or should it be the public ip address? thanks for the response and great work guys on the product, been very satisfied with it so far!

The Enterprise Client DLL only needs to be put on your client computer... it's not used on the server at all... As for the MAC address, it has to be hex, exactly 12 characters either separated by dashes every 2 characters or all together. Casing does not matter. So, the following are valid: 01-23-45-67-89-ab 0123456789AB Email me if you keep having problems getting it reactivated.

I can't seem to create a new license file. It says my MAC address is bad. I've triple checked it. It's good. It is the same one I used originally (same computer). Thus I'm stuck

No joy. I still get a bad request (400).
I was going to attempt to just install it at the root level of my website, but I cannot do that with your installer. It either creates a new web site or it installs into a virtual folder.
I'll try Trent's suggest of getting a new license file that includes the virtual folder in the host name.

Ah, thanks Ben. I'm about to give this a try.
So, my license host name is "ramstest.foxsys.com" (used to create license file and to configure ES), but when I create my ES datasource, on the client, I'd still use "ramstest.foxsys.com/StrataFrameES" right?

OK, Greg, give this DLL a try... you'll have to dump it into your C:\Program Files\Common Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame folder as well as drag it into your GAC (C:\Windows\Assembly). As for the hostname in the license file, it has to match the hostname, not the hostname + virtual server... so, in your case, the ramstest.foxsys.com is correct. The problem wasn't with the hostname not matching, it was with the URL being created within the Enterprise Client.

I went and checked the code Greg, and apparently, the ES assumes that you won't have a virtual server... it's expecting to be able to put the hostname:portnumber directly, so if you have a virtual server, then the url ends up looking like this: http://hostname/virtual:portnumber/RemoteDataSource.ashx not http://hostname:portnumber/virtual/RemoteDataSource.ashx like it should. Give me a few minutes to figure a way out of this and I'll send you a new MicroFour StrataFrame Enterprise Client.dll.
