By allowing the backslash (\) as separator, user grants can now be mapped to Silk Central clients. The user grant field now allows up to 256 characters.
The query log file report of the Policy Administrator is now much faster when using the Web Browser view.
The policy nodes in the Policy Administrator are now sorted alphabetically by name and version.
The required elevation mode is now being checked for check-in and check-out of mobile policies, both in Policy Administrator and in the command line tool. Proper error handling has been added as well.
A silent mode option was added to the standalone license installer, so that no message boxes are displayed at any time.
TopFollowing are the system requirements for installing and running Silk Meter 18.0.
| System Area | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Platform | Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Windows Server 2012 Windows Server 2012 R2 Windows Server 2016 Windows 7 SP1 Windows 8 Windows 8.1 Windows 10 |
Important: Update for Universal C Runtime in Windows is required for all Microsoft Windows operating systems.
TopIssue: Silk Meter clients cannot find the license server when performing license checks.
Workaround: Possible DNS issue. Silk Meter client and server must know each other by name. If not provided by a DNS service, add the information (name and IP address) to the host's files.
Issue: Silk Meter server does not work correctly when switching between standalone and server mode.
Workaround: Only use standalone mode when no other machine uses the computer as a license server. If configured for standalone mode, the local Silk Meter Manager should be stopped via the service manager. If the Silk Meter Manager is not stopped while running in standalone mode, remote computers can perform setting changes that override local settings.
Issue: Silk Meter standalone mode does not support host ID bound licenses for Java clients.
Workaround: None.
Issue: If User Account Control is turned on, the Policy Administrator must be started in elevated mode to successfully check in/out mobile licenses from a Silk Meter server.
Workaround: Start the Policy Administrator in elevated mode.
Issue: The Silk Meter server does not notice new licenses installed via the standalone license installer. Consequently these licenses are lost (also for standalone mode) if additional licenses are imported via the Policy Administrator (also mobile licenses).
Workaround: After importing standalone licenses using the standalone license installer, restart the Silk Meter Proxy Service.
