Executing TurboFloatServer -i on Mac/Windows gives:... <notification>: Service installed successfully.(and the same on Linux)
EVEN IF the server was not activated on that machine.
I understand that you might say that starting a service is independent from activation, but this is bad because the implementer was no way to tell the end user that there is a problem. I ran into this when a user failed to activate (because he forgot to deactivate on another machine), paid no attention to an error message, and went on to start the service. The success message of the server-start command made him think that the activation error message was unimportant.
OK, I can see that being an interesting edge case. We have a lot of experience dealing with end-users who don't read instructions (or ask questions like "Why did Y fail?" and then copy & paste an error message that says "Y failed because of X").
So, we'll make a note of this and "fix" this bug (by adding extra warnings for careless end-users) in a point release of 4.1.
Great, thank you.
TFS 4.3 adds an additional warning if you install the TFS without first activating it. You'll still have to enable logging and show the warnings to the end-user. Or, make an installer to only install the service after the customer has activated it.
Or, very soon, just use our hosted version of the TFS: https://wyday.com/licensechest/help/create-tfs-instance/
