If you have binaries for Yapp version 3.0.13, 3.0.14 or 3.0.15 you will experiece problems with your license file if yapp is accessed from the web 100 or more times in a given day. You can determine which version you are running from the yapp debug pages, or by looking at the version listed when executing bbs from Unix. The bug changes your regular license into an evaluation license. You can check your license file and determine if it has changed to an evaluation license by looking for any information after line 4 (the checksum). If there is anything after line 4 and you shouldn't have an evaluation license, you will need to upgrade to Yapp 3.0.16. Yapp 3.0.16 has the license bug fixed, and no new features. Yapp 3.0.16 is available from ftp:\\armidale.ann-arbor.mi.us/pub/yapp for FreeBSD and Solaris. If you need to have it compiled for another operating system let us know.

Does this apply to www.spring.com with our BSDI operating system? I believe we're running 3.0.10.

However, if you are experiencing problems with your license I would upgrade (and get a new license) and then see if you continue to have problems.

Thanks Dave for responding 5 minutes after I emailed tonight and getting yapp running 5 minutes later. That's incredibly good support!
