Renewals
•
•
•
•
•
•
SAS – complete, Codes received
Secunia – complete, renewed
Adobe – complete, renewed
Sigmaplot – complete, Codes received
JMP – complete, Codes received
Maple – complete, renewed
10
Renewals: Sigmaplot
• Before Dec. 31, we received codes for v.
13
– Codes for v. 12 and 11 were received in early
January
– Recommend upgrading if you are running an
old version (v. 11 came out 7 years ago)
• We have encountered some issues with
renewal
11
Renewals: Sigmaplot
• Renewal instructions:
http://ocio.osu.edu/KB04362
• If the issue persists:
1. You can find the license file here, typically
(default location):
• c:\Program Files (x86)\SigmaPlot\SPW13
2. And the license file is called "lservrc" with no file
extension. (There is also a lservrc.ppp file:
ignore that file for this process).
3. If you rename this file "lservrc.old" and re-run
the process in the KB article above, this may
solve your issue.
12
Renewals: Sigmaplot
• If the issue continues to persist:
1. Users have found that they can sometimes
change the name of the Sentinel folder, and run
the authorization process again. To do this,
locate this folder, typically installed at:
• C:\ProgramData\SafeNet Sentinel
– (“ProgramData” is often a hidden file)
2. And rename the “SafeNet Sentinel” folder to
“SafeNet Sentinel Old”
3. Try the authorization process once more by rerunning the process in the KB article above, this
should solve your issue.

Possible Site License:
ExamSoft
• ExamSoft offered pricing is as follows:
– $8/student/year at 30,000 users
– Support separate
• Currently, we have 5,000 active test takers
at $40-45/taker
– Current spend: in excess of $200,000
– We believe our current need is for 10k test
takers
14
Student FTE totals
• We’re looking at
ExamSoft from an
FTE model based on
the percentage of
students in a specific
area who wants to
join in.
• ExamSoft licensing is
based on test-taker,
not FTE, but this is a
close metric
