MSNet - Remote Controller, what do I need to buy?

[gdyvig]

We are using Macro Scheduler on a standalone basis currently and are looking to use MSNet. The help file is a little vague on a couple of issues.

Let's say have 5 machines from which we want to remotely control 25 additional machines. The first 5 machines must have Macro Scheduler Pro Enterprise licenses because they will need the MSNet Remote Controller. The help file says the remaining 25 machines must have Macro Scheduler installed and must be enabled using by running ServerSetup.exe on them.

My question is - can the 25 additional machines have Macro Scheduler Standard licenses and do I enable them with ServerSetup.exe found on any of the 5 enterprise machines?

I think the answer is YES, but want to be sure.

My other question is can I control an additional 50 machines that have only Macro Scheduler compiled executables installed on them and enabled by running ServerSetup.exe?

My suspicion is the answer is NO because the help talks about checking the MACRO_RESULT which a compiled executable cannot pass back.

Thanks,

No one responded.
That means I correctly answered my own questions?

Thanks,

I didn't respond because this is the first time I've seen your post. Sorry.

The answer is YES. Standard is all you need.

Yes, enable them with ServerSetup.exe

No, you can't control compiled EXEs with msNet. msNet is a component that enables a copy of Macro Scheduler to run it's macros remotely.

Hi Marcus,

Thank you for the confirmation.
Guess my post got buried by some others, but it is good to have an active forum.

Thanks,
