Bug Description:
If you already have an
enterprise.server.url
configured, you will never see the dialog that asks you to provide a license file on Ultimate. It will just happily connect and check out a floating license. We now have some customers that have a mix of named and floating Ultimate licenses using an Enterprise server and this is surprising and kinda awkward.There is a
File -> Reset License...
that just deletes thelicense.dat
from your home folder and restarts (which triggers the appropriate dialog, ifenterprise.server.url
is not set), but that isn't helpful for this scenario. Could/should possibly be repurposed for this case as well, though.There are two workarounds for this, currently:
license.dat
in the Binary Ninja user directory. Then, restart. Binary Ninja will use the named license and not check out a new floating license.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
