FMS missing from SOLUS3

[Jawloms]

Morning,

 

A few months ago we stopped paying for FMS as we are moving to a new finance system. I am now setting up a new SIMS server and of course we need to maintain our FMS system for a while longer. ESS have confirmed to me that we are absolutely allowed to carry on using FMS, we just aren't entitled to support or further updates. On my new server there is no mention of FMS in SOLUS3. There still is on the old server, it just understandably doesn't offer me the latest releases to download, but when doing a new install it only gives you the bits you've paid for. I'm currently in conversation with ESS, but they are simply saying use SOLUS2 to deploy it which I'd rather not. Shot in the dark, but anyway know a way of making it appear?

 

As mentioned - ESS have confirmed this is not a licensing issue and that I am not trying to get something I am not legally allowed otherwise it would have removed it from my old server, just mechanically not allowed. Is there something in an INI file, or putting certain files in folders which will make it appear?

 

Thank you

Did you reinstall SOLUS from scratch on the new server i.e. New Database? or did you migrate the SOLUS database over to the new box?

I went with a new database as the old one was messy and I wanted to start from an empty one. I have since posting this migrated my SOLUS database over and deleted all the computers from it, which made FMS appear in SOLUS3. I now have a different issue though where on the screen "Environment" -> "Configure Workstations" the "connect.ini" has the wrong server instance and I can't change it. It says the old server name. I haven't looked in to this one yet, but am going to start today.
