I Love Juris Software
So I managed to get the Juris update installed by setting back the server date. Tried to install the client on the bookkeeper’s old machine and had to fight for every inch of it, only to be told on running it that I was attempting to access the data in a manner that violated the license. Whacky. I can think of only one possible reason for it that would make it go away and be okay, and that is because the workstation was current and the server was still set back when I got that error.
The second server update, also with the date set back, went smoothly and took mere minutes. I haven’t tried any further client installs.
From there I started on the setup of a program called Time Sheet (which we all call Timesheets around here), which goes on most of the workstations, 40 of which I’d gone around turning on so they’d be ready to install.
Very first one prompts me to eject the install CD and insert the license CD.
License CD?
The old version of this program had a floppy with a license file. When I saw there was no such thing with the newer version, I was all happy and assumed Juris had gotten their act together. But no… they graduated from floppy to CD, then failed to supply said CD.
Argh!
I still have plenty I can do. It just changes what happens today versus tomorrow and drags the whole ordeal out possibly to at least Tuesday.
