The license model is different in 5.7 from what it used to be in 5.4. From registry based to SharePoint Central Admin

They have to go to the Central Admin-> General Application Settings–>Quest Web Parts->Manage Web Parts License.

Then we need an IIS reset just to be sure that the license is applied.

If they still have issues please let me know.

What steps need to be taken to apply license after upgrade to 5.7 from 5.4?

After upgrading from 5.4. to 5.7…

We are getting the following error on our stage farm for quest webparts. The license file is ongoing and has not expired. The same livcense is also used on production and works fine. Removed and added the license file but did not help.

Error

Your evaluation period has expired. Please uninstall the software or contact Quest Software (_http://www.quest.com <http://www.quest.com/> ) to obtain a valid license.

I found the following information on the knowledgebase…but it is for version 5.0
