The following items discuss the
most recent changes found in this version of Eagle Point software.
Please note that the following sections are organized
alphabetically, by module, starting with System level changes
followed by enhancements and bug fixes.
System
- Network License Manager: The Network License Manager has been updated.
The 2005 5.4.0 version requires you to obtain new license codes in order
to run the network version of Eagle Point. The Network License Manager
must be installed on a Windows based server with IP Protocol. The latest
Network License Manager has many improvements aimed at making technology
administrators' jobs easier, ensuring license usage compliance and
providing flexibility in offering licenses to off-line users with the
Checkout Module. The latest version of the license manager allows for
redundant server support and Module Usage Reports. For more information,
see http://www.eaglepoint.com/products/lm/.
- Checkout Module: The Checkout module provides the
ability for users to check out a license for any module in their corporate
network license pool, and disconnect their computer from the network and
still run the Eagle Point software. In fact, users can request a license
on behalf of someone who has no access to the Eagle Point Network License
Manager and e-mail the license to that person for instant access
to the Eagle Point modules they requested. Licenses
can be held for up to 180 days so users can learn the software at home or
work on projects at remote locations.

various commands within Eagle Point have been resolved. Typically, this
was related to commands that would place or modify many objects at one

library that is different from the cell library that is used with your
Node Field Code Library.
