Working with PWF 2.0 and wanted to make sure all my snap-ins were installed. My PSCX, QAD and PowerCLI are disabled in the list, but when I click the enable button nothing occurs.

I have Poshell 2.0 on my WinXP SP3 machine ... anything else I need to do to get those working? Am using an eval license but will be purchasing the studio product later this week ... do I have to wait till then for these to be enabled?

thanks!

Greg -

What version of the PowerWF did you install? PowerWF Ultimate has no limits, and a subset of all the of features of all the various version. See Product Matrix

For other versions, there is a limit on the number of activities that can be enabled in the toolbox. For example, Windows Administrator includes 100 activities. Additional Activities can be purchased.

So, what you can do... for evaluation. (Or download the ultimate) Is Enable a plug-in, this will decrement the number of available activities. For example QAD is about 49 activities. You have 51 left for whatever. After you are done with QAD, you could disable them, and use the 49 activities for something else.

Does this make sense?

Brian,

Am running Powershell Edition, and I now see what you're describing. I disabled others that I don't plan to use and freed up the 49 for the QAD SnapIn and it works fine. I instructed my company purchasing agent to buy 100 Activities with this edition ... I hope that'll be enough ...

The editions should make it very clear in the Plugin-Manager-UI how many activities I can enable (license wise) and how many are enabled by discovered modules/snapins.

Agreed, your point is well taken.

The UI is a bit rough in this regard. We've added this a CR for a coming release. Honestly, the plug-in manager was the last bit of the product to be revamped. And we spent most of the time on functionality, in regards of removing Modules & Snap-Ins. We had some "ideas" on improving the feedback on the control, but rightly or wrongly, went for GA vs. perfect UI.

You caught us. Eh?
