Setting up Test instance - license limits

I made the mistake of asking below question in the community forum. [Question] Setting up Test instance - license limits - Community Support - Click Studios Community

 

Hi,

 

I've been meaning to set up a test environment of PasswordState but i had a few questions.


according to this blog-post https://blog.clickstudios.com.au/can-you-setup-a-test-instance-with-production-data/

and the EULA https://www.clickstudios.com.au/downloads/Passwordstate_EULA.pdf

We're allowed to set up a single production server, and a single non-production, unless otherwise specified. Where can i find if it is otherwise specified?
From what i have received, i think i'm allowed to run the above 2 instances, but i cannot be for sure.

 

Aside from that, can you setup a non-production instance with the same licences that we've received (in our case Client Access licenses and Annual support)? I couldn't find an answer to this on the blog linked above. As it talkes about "Passwordstate Production License Keys".

 

Thanks!

I've been trying to build a test instance, but boy is it cumbersome to install with the provided documentation.

 

I have followed the following instructions:

https://clickstudios.com.au/downloads/version9/Move_New_Web_Server.pdf

https://clickstudios.com.au/downloads/version9/Move_New_Database_Server.pdf

 

i created a new server, installed SQL. installed PWS up to Section 5 (did not do Section 6). Copied the "connectionStrings and AppSettings" (unencrypted).

copied over the "SecureID" folder, as a wasn't sure this applied. We do use 2FA, but not RSA.

copied the production database to the test server. recreated the 'passwordstate_user' with 'db_owner' role.

adjusted the "web.config' to match the new host and password (database remained the same).

And finally restarted all services just to be sure.

 

When i try to access the website, i get the attached error.

Can't i just install a new instance, according to documentation, and simply use my existing keys? I don't really need the data from production to test stuff out.

Just copy the whole web.config, and update connection strings as required.

If you don't need production data why are you trying to migrate the database as well? Just install a new, clean instance?
