Floppy Drive Option and I/O Servers

More Info

If you specify to read the license file from a floppy drive, and a diskette is not in the drive, an "Abort, Retry or Ignore?" dialog box will appear when the I/O Server starts up. This dialog box allows you to select from the following options:

Button Consequence

Abort The I/O Sever will use the license on the hard drive.

Retry The "Abort, Retry or Ignore?" dialog box will reappear.

Ignore The I/O Server will run in demonstration mode.

In the case of an unattended or service-based I/O Server, it is important not to leave the License Utility's Floppy License option set to drive A or B if there is no license diskette in the drive, as the I/O Server will not start up until the user appropriately acknowledges the "Abort, Retry or Ignore?" dialog box.
