Hi John,

Thanks for looking into this for me - I have managed to get the Windows installer and successfully installed onto WinXP running in VirtualBox…. I was able to install it on Windows11 under WinXP-SP2 compatibility mode but perfly won’t run because FlexLM is returning error -108 not allowed to run on remote terminal server …??

I am now in search of the original source code to Performer to get it into open-source and try modernise it - the API is very good for high-performance graphics and I think it still holds true, today…

I am wondering if anyone may know where the source code to libpr etc ended up?

Thanks again for your help!
Cheers,
Rodney

Hi Rodney,

I had a look at my old archive and found the following windows performer version: "OpenGLPerformer322-1206.exe"

I think that this is Windows Performer Demo Installer (I know that at some point I had Windows VM with this installed and used to run the old "Town" demo environment).

I not sure if others know better but for IRIX "OpenGL Performer" demo install, I believe that the only difference to full performer install is the provided license.dat file which is for "DEMO" free install.

If you had / generate a license.dat file for full install, then I would expect this would result in it becoming full install.

Unfortunately back in the day, when you could download the Linux and Windows Demo verssion, I only ever downloaded the Windows version as I was "why Linux, when I have IRIX" person...

If you want to try the windows installer, let me know.

Cheers from Oz,
