Hi Mike -

We do use our own autoyast "control" file, but we also have a
"control.xml" file that resides on the root directory of the ramdisk
once yast loads up.  I think ProductControl.ycp reads it.  That's the
file that has all of the license agreement modules in it.  So, I guess
even if it has modules in there for licensing, there is some way to turn
on a timeout for the license but I have yet to find it yet.

Our system does NFS installs off of loop mounts of our ISO images and
then uses a tailored autoyast.xml file for the automation piece, but
then also uses the control.xml file that was talked about earlier that
we can't modify.

I'll try a few other things and see what I can come up with.  Thanks for
your help!

-Richard

Not entirely sure what you mean, but grep -i license in my xml files
comes up empty.

Didn't change anything... left it alone.

Ah.. don't have any of this stuff in ours.  That's probably what's
trigging it for you I'd bet.  We do installs off NFS and use our own
autoyast files (using rules.xml to pull pieces together).
