I've corrected a licensing problem I had with NetView 6.0.1 on WIN2K.  I
installed NetView on the D: drive, a partition on the single hard drive
on the win2K box, because C: was too full and to small, and D: had the
remainder of the drive and plently of space.  OS is WIN2K with SP1.

Everything installed fine, and there were no error messages in the
nvinstal.log, but none of the background daemons started and when I
tried to bring up the EUI, I got  screen telling me I had no valid
licene installed.  I played around unsuccessfully with
nvlicenseutil.exe, until I tried one option (-n) that said the
D:\usr\ov\license\nvlicense.lic was corrupt.  Actually this file wasn't
there, but was in the D:\TEMP directory where the install log was.  I
copied it into the license directory, and everything worked fine.  

I'm wondering whether the batch file or install script that sets up the
license is hard coded for the C:\ drive and when it can't write the
license file to a non-existent directory there, it dumps it in the TEMP
directory.  

I'm working fine, but wondering whether this is a unique problem.
