PMDF FAQ: Installation/Upgrade
Why will PMDF not start after upgrading or installing a patch because of an expired license?
The PMDF license is issued with a Product Release Date:
This product release date must either be in the future or at least after the date of the patch or the PMDF version you are installing for that patch or version to run.
PMDF will continue to run after the date specified by the Product Release Date in your license has passed if you do not try to upgrade or install any patches.
Typically the Product Release Date of your license will coincide with the expiration of your Support Maintenance Contract. You will need to contact Process Software to obtain a new license if you want to install a version release or patch dated after you Product Release Date has passed.
