Change License Server On Multiple Clients S’abonner

You would need to change the setting via the "Administer>Licensing Setup" menu item.

However, the configuration is saved to the BTLM.ini file found in the "C:\ProgramData\Seagull\BarTender" folder.  I suppose you could run a login script to have this file replaced with a file that contains the new config.  You could even edit the file in Notepad by simply adjusting the "Address=" and "Port=" entries as needed.

Thanks, that's exactly what I need!

Is the file always located under "C:\ProgramData\Seagull\BarTender"?

In all versions of windows?

In older versions of WIndows (pre-Vista) it will be found in: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Seagull\BarTender

Thank you sir!

This is the batch file I will be using to deploy the file by using GPO:

@echo off

setlocal

set ConfigFileOrigin=\\SERVER\share\ApplicationsInstallers\Bartender License Server Config Install\BTLM.ini

if "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%"=="C:\ProgramData" (goto WIN7) else (goto WINXP)

:WIN7
echo Installing under Windows 7
set ConfigFileDestination=%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Seagull\BarTender\BTLM.ini
goto INSTALL

:WINXP
echo Installing under Windows XP
set ConfigFileDestination=%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Seagull\BarTender\BTLM.ini
goto INSTALL

:INSTALL
copy /Y /Z "%ConfigFileOrigin%" "%ConfigFileDestination%"

endlocal
 

Great, let us know how you get on.

What? You don't have faith in my leet DOS coding skills? :lol:

Well, I have good news: it works!

I made a GPO with this as a computer startup script, and it's updating the config file as intended.

Do not set it as a user startup script in the GPO, because the batch file needs Admin Privileges to overwrite the file (at least in Win7). As a computer startup script it runs under the system role, avoiding that problem.

I added a couple of lines to the batch file for logging purposes:

set LogLocation=\\SERVER\share\ApplicationsInstallers\Bartender License Server Config Install\logs

echo %date% %time% Setup started. > "%LogLocation%\%computername%.txt"

...

echo %date% %time% Setup ended. >> "%LogLocation%\%computername%.txt"

echo. >> "%ConfigFileDestination%"
echo. >> "%ConfigFileDestination%"
echo ;Last updated: %DATE% %TIME% >> "%ConfigFileDestination%"

This will create a log file on the server, so we can see on which computers it ran.

It will also add a timestamp in the config file on the client (which is commented out by a semicolon).
