ITIL Beta, sorry in wrong forum
We've downloaded the beta copy of SD+ ITIL and I've come across a few of things with software licenses. There may be a bug when giving a scanned software a minor version. I've tried this twice and both times I end up with the same thing. I loose all options for software licenses or allocating to a workstation. The only thing I see is an option to change type which only list database. 2nd thing I noticed is I ran a scan on my domain and it pulled in two copies of adobe acrobat. Version 7.0 and 7.0.9

I think you get the gist. is this possible as it would be very useful for audting purposes. TIA Damian

Category - Subcategory - Item selecting issues on upgrade
Hi, We have a support request in process but I thought another web-savvy customer might be able to respond faster :P We just upgraded to 6.008 /SQL 2005. I went through I nice test process and found that all of our data made it over unmolested. I was having no problems.... Then one of the team complained that they could not find or select any items in the Category list of a new or existing request. Existing requests that had been previously categorized were displaying "Select Category" on my teammate's

Service Desk Plus 5.5.0-5507 and registry keys
Hello!!! We are a company which uses Service Desk Plus 5.5.0-5507 in order to inventorying the PCs that the enterprise owns. These days, we have been upgrading some computers from Office 2000 to Office 2003 SBE. The problem is that, when we inventory these PCs, Service Desk Plus shows as if both Office 2000 and Office 2003 SBE were installed, which is a mistake due to only Office 2003 SBE is installed now. We think Service Desk Plus inventories the programs from a PC by looking registry keys on it.
Category changing in Requests
i have just added some more "Categories", "Sub-categories" and "Items" within the relevant section in the "Helpdesk Customiser". When i returned back to "All Requests", all of the category fields had changed to the same name (e.g. Connectivity). So that's all Open, On Hold and Closed requests we've ever raised changed to the same category. I've now got the difficult task of going through all 100+ requests and trying to remember which category they were originally set at. Has anyone else ever experienced

Discussion Notes not showing up
We are having problems with users not being able to see Discussion Notes. If the Technician creates a Discussion Note and checks the box that says: "Show this notes to Requester also" the note will show up for the Requester. But, if on the next note the Technician creates - if he does not check that box the user will not be able to see any future Discussion Notes even if the Technician checks the box the following time. Is this a bug?
Request Template - Default?

Ticket reply notification issues
When I hit reply to a ticket while logged in with my technician account sometimes in the to field is addressed to helpdesk@ and sometimes it's the users email. When the addressee is helpdesk@ the user does not get an email notification of my reply. I can not seem to find a consistent pattern. It's not consistent per user either. Sometimes the first reply will be addressed to helpdesk@ and each subsequent ones are addressed correctly. On other tickets at the same time will be addressed correctly the

SD+ 6006 Crashing
Well, we have been live now for about a month and we've encountered a serious issue. For some reason or another SD+ service will randomly stop. I have yet to figure what triggers it but it's getting pretty redundant. In event viewer under application it does show servicedesk with a error but it just says, "There may be a configuration problem. Please check the logs." So I check the logs via SD+ but it's not really showing me anything indicating a problem. SD+ will go back online after a restart but

Hi, We are evaluating ServiceDesk plus to use for our customers to log calls with attachments that can be up to 50MB.

However when receiving emails the attachments are stripped out but the request is created. Is there a setting somewhere to enable attachments and\or
