Issue

I/NET Host Tool Initialization Error saying this version of I/NET is unregistered

Product Line

TAC INET, TAC Vista

Environment

• I/NET
• Vista 5.1.5

Cause

Vista and licensing must be installed before I/NET host tool

Resolution

Ensure that you are installing I/NET Host Tool and not a full copy of I/NET.  If you wish to run a full version of I/NET you will need to purchase that as a separate license. The In House Engineering Dongle does not include a license for I/NET host tool.

Download I/NET Host Tool

The I/NET Host Tool is also included a separate executable on the I/NET CD

Uninstall I/NET Host Tool

1. Go to Control Panel > Add & Remove Programs
2. Remove I/NET Seven
3. Remove Microsoft SQL Desk Top Engine (MSDE)
4. Go to Windows Explorer > Program Files
5. Delete any remaining I/NET Seven files and any remaining MS SQL files

Re-install I/NET Host tool

1. Ensure that the Vista License Server is running
2. Extract the installation files from the .zip file
3. Run setup.exe
4. If you are using a Dongle or a Vista License that does not include I/NET host tool you will be prompted for License Key that must be purchased. If you believe you have received this prompt in error, contact Product Support.
