posted June 25, 2002 3:27 PM We are using your PowerFTP component in a Visual Basic 6 application and have installed the application on the customers production box, periodically it prompts us for a license. Any suggestions? We've included all the files you have listed in your distribution list. |

posted June 25, 2002 4:39 PM Hi, If you are using VB6 and getting trial: 1) When you run the Registration Utility on the development machine, is the license missing? If yes, the machine does not have a valid license. If no, 2) Re-compile the app and distribute. Does the trial go away? If yes, it was previously not compiled on a licensed machine. If no, 3) Is the control instantiated using CreateObject? If yes, use New. See http://support.dart.com/KBDetail.dwp5 If no, 4) Are you using the control on a web page? If yes, it is an LPK problem. See http://support.dart.com/KBDetail.dwp1 If no, 5) Are you creating a control that is to be used in a development environment? If yes, this is against our licensing agreement. Please call us. If no, 6) You are using a control that is not licensed (for example, the Tcp control when you have a license for the Zip Tool). To test, compile a new project with just a licensed control on a form, and distribute it to a machine with no license. You should not see the trial message, indicating the licensing works with licensed components. -ken |

posted June 25, 2002 6:50 PM Thanks Ken for the quick reply, We are using the dartftp.dll, we are not using the CreateObject to instantiate it. We have used the registration utility on the development box. We are unable to reproduce the message, it appears when it wants to. The message is, "Your PowerTCP FTP can only be used for 30 more days." It has occurred twice since your reply. |

posted June 26, 2002 8:38 AM Hi, The message will appear every hour or so in applications that were compiled on a machine without a valid license. If your app is an exe, please follow steps 1 and 2 and you will be all set. -ken |

posted June 26, 2002 9:17 AM Unfortunetely the control is with Sax Basic and can not be compiled. FYI, Sax Basic is similar to the VBA environment within any of the Microsoft Office products. We have a software piece that allows users to go in and apply their own logic. Within the Sax window you can set references to different DLLs. We are distributing your FTP dll so users can reference it to send files to printers. Once again thank. |

posted June 26, 2002 9:33 AM Hi, I'm not familiar with Sax Basic, and licensing in VBA apps behaves differently, depending on if its Access or Excel, for example. There are 3 possibilities: 1) If you create a brand new App, now that you have a license, it may work. The license may be cached when the project is first created, and never changed afterwards. You can quickly test this by creating a very simple new app and distributing it. 2) You can try placing your license in the registry of the target machine. For more info on this, see the Distribution page of the help file, under the section "Distribution Under IIS." 3) It is possible that Sax Basic always opens the project in design mode, in which case the license would have to be properly installed on the target machine (using the Registration Utility). If #2 above does not work, please contact us (315-790-5456). Thanks, -ken |

posted June 26, 2002 10:22 AM Hello, I know the Sax Basic Engine rather well. Another option for you is to place the FTP control in the same exe that is hosting the Sax control, then create a module or class that will wrap the calls to the control that you are using. Then extend that module to the Sax Basic engine and use that interface to communicate with our control. Thanks, Alex |
