      It is not released yet. I would need to send you a build of it.

      Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

        I was trying to build it from Visual Studio myself; however, I kept getting errors, like:

        But it sounds like you might not be surprised by that. Could you send me a build please?

          Your build is failing because you are missing WiX toolset. See https://github.com/FOGProject/fog-client/blob/master/README.md#environment . Note that the 0.9.X branch has no build.ps1 like the master branch does. I can give you a build in a little bit.

              I updated to v.0.9.11 on a test client today.
              Looking at the log file i found the following lines:

               15.03.2016 11:55 HostnameChanger Checking Product Key Activation
               15.03.2016 11:55 Bus Registering ParseBus in channel Power
               15.03.2016 11:55 Bus Became bus client
               15.03.2016 11:55 Bus Registering OnNotification in channel Notification
               15.03.2016 11:55 Bus Registering OnUpdate in channel Update
               15.03.2016 11:55 HostnameChanger Windows has correct key but is not licensed
               15.03.2016 11:55 WinActivation Installing Product key
               15.03.2016 11:56 Process --> Exit Code = 0
               15.03.2016 11:56 WinActivation Activating Product key
               15.03.2016 11:56 Process --> Exit Code = 0
              

              These steps repeats every few minutes,

              Running slmgr.vbs /dli shows the following status:

              alt text

              Does the following lines in https://github.com/FOGProject/fog-client/blob/master/Modules/HostnameChanger/Windows/WinActivation.cs need to be changed so the german “lizenziert” will be recognized?

               public static bool IsActivated()
                      {
                          var info = GetSLMGROutput("/dli");
                          var flattenedInfo = string.Join(" ", info);
              
                          return flattenedInfo.Contains("Licensed");
                      }

                Might be safer to have the opposite check (check for unlicensed and only then try to activate rather than check for licensed and try to activate when that doesn’t match) to prevent keys from burning. I think people would prefer their computers not activating because of language issues rather than keys burning.

                  Can some mod mark the tread as unsolved?
                  Or should i open a new thread?

                    I’d say open a new thread, I’d call this a bug as it doesn’t work right if a different language is being used by the system.
