March 11, 201610 yr Please modify the System Information popup to show how many devices are currently attached and how many devices are allowed by the existing license. Then add a link from there to the System Devices screen (/Tools/SysDevs), and modify that screen to make it clear which devices count against the device limit. It may also make sense to include a few links: This web page for license information: https://lime-technology.com/registrationkeys/ The Registration page (/Tools/Registration) to upgrade This forum topic for questions: https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=39947.0 Why? There is a lot of confusion in the forum of what counts as a device, and this should eliminate that.

January 4, 20188 yr Author It looks like there was some work done on this... the Tools -> Registration page now shows how many attached storage devices there are. Thanks! This server has 6 attached storage devices. I'm actually quite pleased to see that number, my system has one of these and I assumed it counted toward my limit. Apparently it doesn't! Looking at the Tools -> System Devices page, could we do something to show which devices count toward the limit and which don't? In the example below I added +/- at the beginning of the line: - [0:0:0:0] disk Patriot Memory PMAP /dev/sda 15.5GB - [1:0:0:0] disk Generic- USB3.0 CRW-CF/MD 1.00 /dev/sdb - - [1:0:0:1] disk Generic- USB3.0 CRW-SM/xD 1.00 /dev/sdc - - [1:0:0:2] disk Generic- USB3.0 CRW-SD 1.00 /dev/sdd - - [1:0:0:3] disk Generic- USB3.0 CRW-MS 1.00 /dev/sde - - [1:0:0:4] disk Generic- USB3.0 CRW-SD/MS 1.00 /dev/sdf - + [3:0:0:0] disk ATA Samsung SSD 850 1B6Q /dev/sdh 512GB + [4:0:0:0] disk ATA ST4000VN000-1H41 SC43 /dev/sdi 4.00TB + [5:0:0:0] disk ATA ST4000VN000-1H41 SC43 /dev/sdj 4.00TB + [6:0:0:0] disk ATA ST4000VN000-1H41 SC43 /dev/sdk 4.00TB + [8:0:0:0] disk ATA ST4000VN000-1H41 SC43 /dev/sdl 4.00TB Hmm... if the boot drive doesn't count toward the limit, it looks like 'lsscsi -s' only shows 5 attached devices and not 6? There *is* another USB drive that is passed through to a VM, it shows up when the array is stopped: [2:0:0:0] disk SanDisk Cruzer Fit 1.27 /dev/sdg 16.0GB Does the licensing engine see that one even though 'lsscsi -s' doesn't? I suppose that could complicate things. tower-diagnostics-20180103-2337.zip Edited January 4, 20188 yr by ljm42
