Evaluation period

Post by Sevilsivle »

Hi,

I installed Meteohub onto a NSLU2 last night and set up a RXFCOM Transceiver. When I logged on this morning I got a message that the evaluation period was up!
1 Day is not really enough ;-)
I thought it said 150 days remaining last night but I assume the time and date have now been updated and it has decided time is up.

How can I extend the trial period?

Thanks

Tim

Hi,

Not sure what version you are running. On the maintenance tab, check for a software update, download and install it. That should extend the license period.

If you have weather history that is more than 3 months old, the eval period is over as well. In that case you could delete the old data (\\<Meteohub> IP>\public\weather).

Cheers,

Ysbrand

I am using version 4.9 which I downloaded last night from the website.
I have updated as you suggested but the same message appears. However the unit did not reboot which suggests the update may not actually have happened.
The directory you mentioned does not exist. I have not yet produced any data just set up the transceiver but not yet assigned any sensors.

Thanks for your help

Unfortunately I cannot access any other tab or page than the maintenance one.

OK so I reformatted the USB stick and rebooted. I checked the version, it's 4.9 build 215. Then unit fetched the time/date information and it timed out.
I checked for an update and it downloaded it now I am waiting to see if the install is successful. If not I'll move on.

OK the unit updated successfully, rebooted and now the time out message comes up on the same page as the license.

Goodbye

you have to update to 4.9m to get the recent demo period until end of 2012 applied.
update (auto) function should do that without much hazzle.
