I have a client that just deployed a new server to deploy a new accounting
system.

They presently are running Macola 7.6 on the Pevasive 2000 database engine.
Since they do not have the 2000 install discs I was unable to migrate the
accounting software to the new domain.

The accounting department is using KVM switches to switch between the two
accounting systems. This requires a seperate network for the old and new
accounting systems.

It turns out the new accounting software uses the Pervasive 8.0 database
engine. I have tried copying the Macola files over to the new server,
running the Macola setup and I get the error "You are not registered to run
Pervasive SQL"

Is there anyway to get Macola using this 8.0 Pervasive installation for the
three months the transistion will take? The client does not want to spend
the money to buy a database engine for three months, but the two networks is
a real pain. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes. Please see the article located here:

By isolating out which application is querying the database version,
and then telling the database to report Btrieve 6.15 as the version to
that application, you can work around the Macola version check. It may
take some testing to findout which EXE is asking for the version, but
you should be able to track it down...
