Re: Putting ADSM config files in a separate directory

Hi Gerhard,

the executable "dsmlicense" has also to be in the seperate directory,
otherwise the license manager will not come up. This is an experience
I made when installing TSM 4.1.1, and it took some time until I figured
out what was going on.

I have also put the .lic files there, just for conveniance. It should
be possible to specify a path when registering the licenses.

Regards,

Reinhard
