- The exiting after registering is normal, but the crashing is not. Are
- you running executor under gdb? Is more than one Executor active on
- your network or machine at any given time?
-
- Here's what's happening:
-
- You can now purchase site licenses for Executor for a fixed number of
- simultaneous users on your network. People who buy a copy for
- personal use are really purchasing a site license for one user. When
- you run Executor, it checks the local network for other Executors to
- make sure you aren't using more copies simultaneously than your
- license allows. We have seen the SIGIO from the broadcast packet kill
- Executor under gdb (looks like a gdb bug), but not elsewhere.
-
- You can turn off the site license check with:
-
- executor -checknet 0
-
- Of course, you're not supposed to use this flag to maliciously
- circumvent your site license restrictions, but we allow users this
- option in case the net check causes problems.
-
- We apologize for not mentioning this in the 1.99k documentation; that
- was an error.
