 # now
 
 
-todo: spin up another 3 test servers on test.ayanova.com, besides a261 which is for joyce and test which is for me, can beef up that server if necessary but need something to send people to when they need to do a quick test
-and there is other fuckery, do this today priority then send to rich as an option if haven't heard back from him yet.
+
 
 - new website flesh out the framework and post as an alternate v8index.htm intrey portal so can fully make it without affecting v7
 	get the live test server stuff worked out too in advance
 	sb triggered from a route to make things simple and so client / website doesn't need to do too much
 
-TODO: DOCS - evaluate page should link to install page in manual so I'm certain I have one single thing to link people to that they can then use to get up and evaluating fully
-TODO: DOCS _ Rich thought that the eval started by entring info into the screenshot of the evaluation page in the manual, it does seem to be worded to confuse as it says "enter it here" 
-	Change to make it clear it's a screenshot of the actual page in the software ionce installed and sb a clear list of what to do in what order
 
-todo: any reason why got double license request earlier today from atlas guy??
-	it was rockfish that sent it maybe try another and confirm address like he did etc
-	Yeah, it didn't do that thing so maybe he's somehow double requested and it changed the db id or something unusual I need to determine
-	maybe when I hear back he'll have some insight in to what happened.
 
 todo: did a test generate an eval license but did not fetch it manually to see if it would get it, it didn't after almost 24 hours even though it was unlicensed so should be on the fast cycle
 	something is amiss there check the code try it out here in debug and see what the fuck is happening.
