License Error when Editing a Visual Studio Solution

[Palmer_MD]

I decided that I should start a new post as after reading the others more closely it seems like they were all having problems getting a program to run.  My problem is editing a program.  The program I got from the other computer runs perfectly on the old computer and also on my computer.  The issue seems to be when I try and edit the Visual Studio Solution there is an error with the ChartFx License file.

Below are copies of some of my old posts on the subject........

I have this same problem.  I have a customer who has an application that includes a chart.  I dont want to modify the chart, but I need to change one of the visual basic scripts.  I have Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition.  I am wondering if it does not work because I am using a newer version of Visual Studio.  I get the error

"Couldn't get Design Time license for 'SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Lite.Chart' "

at SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Lite.Base.12.I3(LicenseContext 1I2, Type 1I3, Object 1I4, Boolean 1I5, LicenseProvider 1I6)at SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Lite.Base.RegistryLicenseProvider.GetLicense(LicenseContext context, Type type, Object instance, Boolean allowExceptions)at System.ComponentModel.LicenseManager.ValidateInternalRecursive(LicenseContext context, Type type, Object instance, Boolean allowExceptions, License& license, String& licenseKey)at System.ComponentModel.LicenseManager.ValidateInternal(Type type, Object instance, Boolean allowExceptions, License& license)at System.ComponentModel.LicenseManager.Validate(Type type, Object instance)at SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Lite.Chart..ctor()

my licenses.licx file includes the information..... SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Lite.Chart, ChartFX.Lite, Version=6.0.839.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a1878e2052c08dce

double clicking on this error takes me to this file.  What other setup information might cause this error.  Is the directory naming related.  I dont have it stored in the same directory name on my machine as the original user machine.

 Thanks in advance for any help.

Best Regards,

Michael

The project is running on a Windows 2000 machine, and I have copied the files to my computer which is Windows XP Professional.

------------------------------------------------------------

The original programmer programed the project in 2004.  He is not available, so I do not know what software he used to create the project.  He installed it onto the Windows 2000 machine and this is where is has been for the last 3 years.  The customer asked me to make a change to the project.  The change is related to the visual basic scripting only and not to do with the chart.

I copied the files to my computer to make the changes as there is not any editor on the runtime machine.  The files copied fine, and I can run the project on my machine without any issues.  When I open the project to edit it is when I get the license error related to the chartfx portion.  I cannot insert my changes and save the project until the chart error is resolved.

 I can send you the project files if you wish to try on your computer.

Thanks, Mike

Is Chart FX Lite installed in these computers? I'm not talking about the files being copied over but the actual install program.

Chart FX Lite MUST be installed in any computer in which you want to compile an application containing Chart FX Lite.

I suppose that makes sense.  Hindsight is 20-20 right.  I don't own a copy and I don't intend to make any changes to the ChartFX.  Is there a workaround so that I dont have to purchase and install software? If not, does it matter what version?  I am not sure what version the original author used, does it have to match?

Thanks, Mike

Chart FX Lite is Free. There is no workaround. You need a license in order to compile.
