PDI 4.3.1 license issue

[fly_boyz]

I downloaded PDI 4.3.1. I'm running the EE trial version locally. When I open 4.3.1 it shows an "....invalid or missing product license" error on startup. 4.3.0 and everything else works fine.

Any ideas?

The EE version is the paid version.
You need to buy a licence in order to use it.

If you want to try the product for free you need to download the CE version.

Or ask sales@pentaho.com for a trial license.

Thanks guys. I should have downloaded CE which is what I am doing now. However, EE is working fine since I've only been using it for about a week. And PDI is working fine as well. It's the latest build of PDI 4.3.1 that I'm having the license problems.

But I'll install CE and PDI 4.3.1 and see how it goes.

Thanks

Still not working.

I now have biserver ce 3.9.0 and PDI ce 4.3.1 (the latest build) but still having the license problem. I can't think of anything else to do. Really, PDI is CE anyway so even if I didn't have biserver running locally and just connected to our remote repo (which is EE) it should work anyway. What am I missing?

Help.

PDI 4.3.1 CE is Apache licensed, absolutely no keys required.

err, have i missed something here. You're trying to connect PDI CE to a remote EE repository? That wont work. If you want to use CE then you must use a database repository, not an EE repository.
( this is one big disadvantage of using PDI EE )

Thanks. That makes sense of course. The downside for me is that I am using EE with 4.3.0 no problem, but I want to be able to use the new couchdb input in 4.3.1. So I guess there should be a way to copy over my license from 4.3.0 to 4.3.1 so I can publish my job (with the couchdb input) to my EE server.

Anyway, I am working on an interim solution for now using Luciddb as one option, and a secondary solution using the REST and JSON steps. :-)

[codek]

thats correct. Thats _exactly_ the problem with using EE - it restricts you from updates. However; You could ask support for an official 4.3.1 build as you're a customer and all!

[MattCasters]

The big data plugin is not EE (also Apache Licensed) so you can use it on any version you like, CE or EE.
So I'm sure you can copy the big data plugin to your 4.3.0 environment without a problem.
