[Queue-developers] RE: Re: just "one" more question (Monica Lau)

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Greetings,

I realize this message is in response to an old mailing, but I've been
working on other things for a while.  Anyway, I have a question regarding
the "dummylicense" Ms. Lau refers to below (Queue-developers digest, Vol 1
#47 - 4 msgs, Message 1).  I have downloaded the latest Queue sources from
CVS and did not find a file by this name.  The software that I am trying to
run using Queue does not require a license and I have been unable submit any
jobs since the queue manager performs license checks.  Is it possible to
construct the "dummylicense" file from scratch?  Any help would be
appreciated.

Regards,
Chris Hazelrig
