While connecting with Spotlight on Unix, you receive the error:
You cannot connect to this machine because your license for "Spotlight on UNIX" allows a maximum of 0 connections. To establish this connection you will need to
close one of your other connections.
Please contact Quest Software for information about obtaining a new license.
After putting in a new key, the same error resurfaces.
Please download the attached SoU.spx file with the fix.
Instructions:
1) Go to the following folder in your Spotlight on Unix installation directory:
C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Quest Central\Spotlight\Plug-ins\SoU
2) Rename your current SoU.spx file to SoU.old
3) Download the attached SoU.spx file and place it in the C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Quest Central\Spotlight\Plug-ins\SoU directory.
Close out of Spotlight on Unix if you have it open and reconnect.
This will be fix in a future release within the next couple of weeks.
