Error Message: This Client is Not Licensed for Remote Connections

If you receive "This client is not licensed for remote connections" errors, you are trying to connect to a SQL-89 Progress database which is not licensed for sockets connections.

You have two options --

1. You can contact Progress, who can provide licensing that allows TCP/IP client connections, sometimes limited to Progress client processes on the same physical host as the Progress server.
   
   
   
2. You can also try to make a "shared memory" connection. Naturally, Progress itself must be running in shared memory mode. Additionally, the Multi-Tier Database Agent must be an exact match for your Progress database -- i.e., the database agent must match the letter-version of your Progress instance, and further, the agent must have been "linked" against libraries that all match the versions of your local Progress instance.
   
   
   
   • If the Agent doesn't match, and it is running on a Unix-like OS (Linux, AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, etc.), you can relink the Database Agent.
     
     
     
   • If the Database Agent doesn't match and is running on a Windows host, you cannot relink it. Your best option is to obtain the appropriate client licensing from Progress Software.
