DETAILS OF INCIDENTS FIXED BY THE PATCH
---------------------------------------
This patch fixes the following incidents:

Patch ID: 7.4.0.100

* 3960118 (Tracking ID: 3960116)

SYMPTOM:
Installer reports incorrect licensing status as "Unlicensed" for InfoScale 7.4 even when the systems are properly licensed and also fails to download the available Maintenance or Patch releases.

DESCRIPTION:
For InfoScale version 7.4,  when you use the installer command with the -version option or the showversion script in the /opt/VRTS/install directory, the installer reports incorrect licensing status as "Unlicensed" even when the systems are properly licensed. 
This is due to incorrect release version string set in the installer. Later, installer is unable the get the path of the repository where the Maintenance or Patch releases should be downloaded.

RESOLUTION:
The installer is enhanced to fetch the correct licensing status by setting correct release version string. It is also enhanced to either use /opt/VRTS/repository as the default repository or to accept a different location to download the suggested releases.
