TurboFloatServer offline deactivation

Hi Wyatt,

Sorry if I'm being dense, but I'm not sure how to complete an offline deactivation for TFS. The documentation shows how to generate the request file, but not how to process the response file once it's been received.

i.e. we only have this information:

[Or, if you wish to deactivate offline (i.e. generate an offline activation request) then you must pass a file path using the "-deact" commandline switch:

TurboFloatServer.exe -deact="C:\Location\To\OfflineReq.xml"]

Once I have the deactivation response file, how do I process it?

Think I figured it out.

Need to use -deact -dresp="responsefile.xml" as the commandline parameters, right?

Please update online documentation and the -h commandline output to specify this.

Minor typo in output log:'Activated request file saved successfully.' should be changed to'Activation request file saved successfully.'

>> "Need to use -deact -dresp="responsefile.xml" as the commandline parameters, right? "

Nope, the instructions are correct. Use:

TurboFloatServer.exe -deact="C:\Location\To\OfflineReq.xml"

>> "Minor typo in output log:'Activated request file saved successfully.' should be changed to'Activation request file saved successfully.'"

Thanks, this will be fixed.

Hi Wyatt,

I'm sorry, I don't understand your reply.

To *activate* the TurboFloat server offline, you generate a request file, process it through the LimeLM Server, and receive a response file which is then loaded by the application. The command-line generation of the *activation* request and response files are documented clearly, i.e.

TurboFloatServer.exe -a="ABCD-EFGH-IJKL-MNOP-QRST-UVWX" -areq="C:\Location\To\Save\ActivationRequest.xml"

generates the request file.This is then processed, and a response file is retrieved, which is processed by

TurboFloatServer.exe -a -aresp="C:\Location\To\ActivationResponse.xml"

Deactivation must surely follow a similar process -- first you generate the request file (documented clearly) via

TurboFloatServer.exe -deact="C:\Location\To\OfflineReq.xml"

Then once you receive a deactivation response file, you process it similar to the activation response file; however, there are no instructions to process the resulting TFS deactivation response file via the command line.

I tried using this command-line switch:TurboFloatServer.exe -deact -dresp="C:\Location\To\DeactResponse.xml"and it worked.

You seem to be suggesting that the processing of the response file is not needed, *or* it uses exactly the same command-line switch, which I tried but could not get to work. Can you please elaborate?

Correct.
