TFS Service name

When TFS is installed as a service, it looks like its name is of the form "TurboFloatServer-????" where ???? is an ID unique to our product. To get the ID can I get it from my dashboard, or do I install the service and then look up the service name? Can I assume the ID will not change for that product?

I would like to supply a utility to report which services are running especially for customers who may have several of our products installed. Therefore I need to map the ID to the product name.

Thanks

This is explained here, where to get the version id, etc: https://wyday.com/limelm/help/turbofloat-server/#upgrading

Let me know if that helps.

Yes, that answers my question (somehow I missed it in the documentation)

Many thanks

Another question on using TurboFloatServer.

If I have a TFS activated on a server, can I use the TurboActivate library?

For example, can I call TA_GetPKey to retrieve the stored Product key?

Nope, you have to use the TurboFloat Server to get that information: https://wyday.com/limelm/help/turbofloat-server-commandline/

Use "TurboFloatServer -v" to get the current activation information.

When plan on releasing a TurboFloat Server Management library in the near future (it will let you programmatically get all of this information, as well as actually managing the TFS while it is running).

OK, I tried the -v switch but got the following error:

Failed to check activation. Error code 0x3. What does that mean?

Ahh. Does Error code 0x3 mean that TFS is not activated?

From TurboActivate.h:

/* MessageId: TA_E_ACTIVATE Message code (in Hex): 0x3 Message code (in Decimal): 3

MessageText:

The product needs to be activated.*/#define TA_E_ACTIVATE ((HRESULT)0x00000003L)

Also, make sure any running instances of TurboFloatServer are stopped before running that command.
