[lkb] Common Lisp License

[Scott Drellishak]

When I try to run the Windows version of the LKB (which I've had installed
for many months), I get the following error message:

Lisp has expired. Please contact ***@franz.com for a new license
file.

Should I be able to download a new licence file from somewhere? I tried
downloading the current version of the LKB and copying over the old files,
but that didn't do the trick. The Linux version I have installed still
seems happy, though, so that's my current workaround.

hi scott,

running Linux is, of course, an excellent work-around :-). i wanted to
ask what the value of *cvs-version* was in your Windows version of the
LKB, but i reckon it may be difficult asking it now. however, i guess
you had been using a relatively old copy, and it may just be time to do
a fresh installation. the current `latest' build on the LinGO download
site

http://lingo.stanford.edu/ftp/

should include a relatively recent Windows license. truth be told, i
cannot say for sure, because ann is providing the Windows builds, with
a license sponsored by cambridge. but give it a shot, nevertheless!

if you have CygWin installed (including wget(1), which is optional), i
suggest you try the automated install from:

http://wiki.delph-in.net/moin/LkbInstallation

by default, this will aim to install the `latest' build of everything.

all best - oe

I'm afraid I think this will apply to all recent versions - I only
just realised that we'd had one of those licences. It's expired and I
don't currently have grant money to acquire a new one. I am trying to
find a way of acquiring one!
