Alas, it was't even related to the OP's problem. He was just trying to 
figure out why his licenses are invalid after a server failover. It just 
happens that the backup server's license was overwritten by the primary 
server license (because of disk mirroring).

Regarding the IPP-based unlicensed codec. IIRC when it first surfaced - 
the general consensus then was that we should not be telling people 
where to download the binaries. Anyone can download IPP from Intel and 
compile Readytech's codec on their own. But, please don't use this list 
to propagate the unlicensed (and not to mention mostly illegal) 
binaries. The same goes for requests for Cisco phone firmware, etc. If 
you don't have a TAC accout, get a smartnet contract or find someone who 
has TAC access.

Agreed.
