How to evaluate RMS 2.0 for various checking after evaluation expr

Dec 08, 2007 3 Replies

Dear Microsoft,



It was really great working with RMS 1.3 and the time come when RMS 2. 0 lauched, then I thought that this version will have more benefit than 1.3 but here I lost everything.



With RMS 1.3 I can create as many database for testing as I can and do the different senario testing with POS (Point of Sales software) whereas such feature is only avaiablle to the one database and 30 days trial time in RMS



2.0 which is I think not fair.

You have many practices running in your bussiness and wanted to perform various test because you can not do things straight in any application. Once Test run is good then you go for the final implementation. I think Microsoft not consider this whereas they make so many of their products with the bases that you first test it once working then deploy it.



I have always many things to test with RMS 1.3 but now its is not in my control I can't do POS testing anymore becuase if I put the keys it work only on LIVE database and there is no concept of mulitple database using same license.



See MS what you can do for this.

Hi Akber

I support your letter 100 % that is one of the reason I haven't move to 2.x yet. I haven't even been able to get a demo copy and I'm on maintenance.

I installed 2.0 when it first came out and I don't see any difference in how many databases you can connect to when compared to 1.3. I believe the product key for the POS lane is tied to the PC not the database. Why would you need more than one key to test on multiple databases?

Mark, you miss his point. He(and most of the rest of us)used another machine to test different configurations, options, addons, etc. Not the machine that his POS is attached to. With the new licensing he can no longer do that, which is a major problem since you would not want to deploy a new addon, or configuration without being able to test it on POS before going live. It is just not practical to be able to do it on your live POS system. Craig
