Bo, > OK, I noted on the download page that there are CVSNT minimal client > install and CVSNT minimal server install These are the 'traditional' packages that CVSNT has always had - just now in separate client and server. You'll need to uninstall CVSNT 2.5.03 then install the correct package (server on server [which includes the client], client on client). This was done to address complaints that when people just wanted the client they discovered services running on their PC (cvsservice/cvslock). > I also noted that there are two CVS Suite trial installs. What does > the "trial" part stand for? Will it expire after a grace period or > what? This was covered in the RC release notes some time back. The short answer is that it includes some components from the commercial CVS Suite (like the GUI which you asked about in a different thread). None of the included 'trials' have an 'expiry' component (though that may change I guess - however those mechanisms are sooooo easy to workaround I don't think it'd be worth the hassle to code it), but they do have either a feature turned off or some 'please consider purchasing CVS Suite' type of message/advertisment. In fact I think the current installers only contain the 'eval' version of WM (the gui) in the client - but there are plans to also include the SCCI on the client (with an ad rotator) and the bugzilla/mantis/jira plugin on the server (it'll put annoying comments/links in your bug comments about 'placed here by the evaluation version of CVS Suite'). Oh the client I think also includes our modified WinCVS and TortoiseCVS 10.?. The biggest difference between the 'trial' and the 'commercial' is the actual CVSNT core version and the eBook. Certainly a part of the idea of the trials is to let people evaluate the commercial version, but that's a side issue. Mostly the reason for it is that I've gotten feedback that a lot of people download CVSNT looking for 'more' - they want a windows type 'out of the box' experience and currently they have to go to 3 of 4 different sites to get all the pieces which is not an ideal experience.
