Problems with Configuration protection and demo lisences

Hello,

Can someone help me with this kind of problem: We are currently receiving error message when opening Management Center:

"You are using some demo licenses in your environment. To license them please contact your sales representative"

The message is caused by Configuration Protection feature which we have 5 listed demo liceses with 1 used. The behaviour itself is undestandable. But the problem I'm having is two-fold:

- How to stop admins (globally) from installing this feature (purposelly or by accident)

- How to find the computer which has this feature installed easily? (We had this problem previously and I was ably to find the computer with some 'detective work'. Now it seems some other computer has installed this again and I would need some solution that I can rely on to find these computers)

wbr,

  • Hi Outotec,

    I cannot help you in stopping your administrators from installing the SafeGuard Enterprise Configuration Protection module, but to figure out which machine has which modules installed, you could use the following SQL query: 

    use SafeGuard
    SELECT
    SAFE_GUARD_DIR.SGD_name as 'Machine name',
    IVT_INST_FEATURES.IIF_FEATURE as 'Feature Installed',
    convert (VARCHAR,IVT_INST_FEATURES.IIF_MODIFY_DATE,3) as 'Last modified'
    FROM IVT_INST_FEATURES INNER JOIN
    SAFE_GUARD_DIR ON IVT_INST_FEATURES.IIF_MACHINE_ID = SAFE_GUARD_DIR.SGD_ID
    order by SAFE_GUARD_DIR.SGD_name

    which would give you a small list of Machine names and their installed modules:

    Machine nameFeature InstalledLast modified
