Hot Fix to Pharos 7.2 - 5.3 (Pharos License Server) 
 
Question:   Hot Fix to Pharos 7.2 - 5.3 (Pharos License Server)

Beginning September 24th 2007 customers that receive an updated license key or have recently renewed their license key will receive a license update package. The updated license package will update the Pharos License Server components to this hot fix version (7.2.4281). It is not necessary for customers to update the components if they have not received a new license key. Customers can if they wish update their system in advance of renewing their license key using this hot fix.

It is recommended that all customers running versions 5.3 and above upgrade their Pharos License Service at the time of license renewal.

This Hot Fix corrects a problem where after applying a new license key the License Server fails to start. 
 
Answer:

Installation

1. Download the attached lserver.zip package
2. Extract the three files contained in the zip to the desktop
3. Run the WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe (Windows Installer 3.1)
4. Run the vcredist_x86.exe installer
5. Stop all Pharos Services
6. Replace the lserver.exe located in C:\program files\pharos\bin with the one extract
7. Restart all Pharos Services

Once the Hot Fix is applied, the version number of the License Server executable will be updated to 7.2.4281.

The application of this Hot Fix constitutes acceptance of the conditions specified in your license agreement. To view the license agreement, please refer to the file 'license.rtf' on your Pharos CD.
