check_nt trial Delphi version - fix issued

[Damien Manuel]

Greetings,

I'll post a text file in the next few days on my website with the tools
etc... that you need to find counters and services on M$ boxes. I will
also include a summary of all the counters I have found on NT4.0,
Windows 2000 and if possible Windows 2003.

Regards,

Damien Manuel.

All:

On Monday, June 2nd (depending on your system time), versions 1.0.8.0 to
1.0.8.3 of 
NSClient displayed the following error on startup - "This module was
compiled with a 
trial version of Delphi, the trial version has expired.". The error will
not appear until 
the agent is stopped and attempted to be restarted. This is fixed in
NSClient 1.0.8.4.

All users of NSClient 1.0.8.0 to 1.0.8.3 need to upgrade to the
pNSClient.exe 1.0.8.4.

In the Control Panel, stop the Nagios Agent service. Go to the directory
where NSClient 
is installed and copy pNSClient.exe 1.0.8.4 over top of the existing
pNSClient.exe 
binary. Restart the service. 

We apoogize for the inconvience this has caused the users of NSClient. 

The fixed version is attached and is also available on our forum at 
http://support.tsmgsoftware.com

When we began working with NSClient we used the Borland Delphi
Enterprise Trial which we 
were able to download from the Internet and activate with a 31 day trial
key. We also 
ordered the full version as a full key could not be ordered online, but
rather a separate 
boxed copy had to be ordered. 

In the week or so it took for the software to arrive we worked on and
released NSClient 
1.0.8.0. As the new software required an uninstall and a reinstall, we
didn't install it 
right away. We continued to update NSClient and released versions
1.0.8.1 to 1.0.8.3. 

Unfortunately, we did not realize that any software compiled with the
trial version would 
stop working at the end of the trial. In our opinion, Borland made no
efforts to advise 
users of the trial version that this would happen. 

To fix the problem, we uninstalled the trial version, installed the full
version, 
reinstalled the SVCOM libraries, the Jedi libraries and the Jawa
libraries and recompiled 
to produce NSClient 1.0.8.4. 

Again, we apologize for the inconvience.
