What's new in Clarisse iFX 4.0 SP15:
New Features and Enhancements
General
- Clarisse no longer suggests importing old configuration files from version 3.6 and older. (#11195)
- Added support for long paths (greater than 260 characters) on Windows. To make this work, you need to enable long path support on your Windows 10 system:
- Using the Registry Editor: set the registry key "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\LongPathsEnabled" to 1.
- Using the Group Policy (Windows 10 Pro): change the policy "Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Filesystem > Enable Win32 long paths" to "Enabled".
- Reboot your computer.

- Licensing information displayed by Licman and Licinfo have been improved.
- The number of available licenses is now shown as available_license_count/license_count instead of previously used_license count/license_count.
- The number of running clients (per license) now shows the the total number of Clarisse/CNode instances running.
- For each license and for each client, each client line now shows the number of running application instances by that client.
- When using Licinfo with "licensing_info" (to get the licensing information as XML), a new field "application_instances" has been added to client data.
These changes affect ILISE and you need to deploy the updated version of the server application to benefit from them.
If you used to parse the licensing information text output to extract information, please note the following changes:
- Available licenses: changed the text "N/M OF AVAILABLE LICENSES" to "N/M REMAINING LICENSE(S)", with N = number of unused available licenses instead of used licenses.
- Running clients: changed the text "N RUNNING CLIENTS" to "N RUNNING APPLICATION INSTANCE(S)" where N = the real number of total application instances.
For instance, a full example of the previous and new output, before:
