User (Legacy) Posted May 23, 2002 Author Report Posted May 23, 2002 I have a licensing problem that was raised here by another guy some time ago but you didn't respond to it up to the end. The problem had been raised on this newsgroup by "xrx" on February 22. I am using Win2K professional on every machine. The idea is that by using a simple project with just a ChartFX.Lite component on it, it works perfectly when deploying to a clean computer. (I copy the executable and the chartfx.lite.dll) But, when the project gets a little bit complicated, I get a horrible "Couldn't get Run Time license for 'SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Lite.Chart' exception" In both cases, I use the same model, with licenses.licx embedded in the executable, as fully discussed in this newsgroup already. My project reads from some webservices to get data then store it into a dataset that is passed to the chart. It works wonderfully on my computer but no way to work on another machine. I cannot tell what is wrong, and I strongly suspect a bug. My build version of dll is the most recent to date, 6.0.839.0, the one uploaded on may 16th on your site. Could you tell me a way to manually provide the licence ? If you could get rid of that licence it would be ideal. Thanks, Silviu

Software FX Posted May 23, 2002 Report Posted May 23, 2002 We have been unable to reproduce this problem, we have may people using the product and redistributing their apps with no problem at all. Of course that doesn't necessarily means that there isn't a bug but to fix it we need to be able to reproduce it. The phrase "when the project gets a little bit complicated" is very vague and doesn't give us the information we need. As a developer yourself surely understand what I mean, right ? Is it possible that you send us a VS project that reproduces this problem ? Thank you in advance. -- FP Software FX, Inc.

User (Legacy) Posted July 10, 2002 Author Report Posted July 10, 2002 I have exactly the same circumstances as you, I made a single form program with 1 button that displays a chart and it works on the development machine and all tested distributions of it to other machines. However when I use the chart component in are larger project I get the same error as you "Couldn't get Run Time license for 'SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Lite.Chart' exception" but only on non development machines. If I can't get it to work I think I will move to Excel unless anyone can help me with my problem ?

Software FX Posted July 12, 2002 Report Posted July 12, 2002 What exactly are the characteristics of your larger project ? Are you creating a wrapper for ChartFX ? If you are please note that VS.NET will not embed the license in your wrapper so you will have to drop the ChartFX Lite control in an empty form in your main EXE (this form will never be displayed) so that VS.NET can embed the license in your exe. -- Regards JC Software FX Support "Mike" <michaelsouth@ntlworld.com> wrote in message news:LeSjV2CKCHA.2752@webserver1.softwarefx.com... > > I have exactly the same circumstances as you, I made a single form program > with 1 button that displays a chart and it works on the development machine > and all tested distributions of it to other machines.

User (Legacy) Posted November 22, 2002 Author Report Posted November 22, 2002 Mike I too have had the same trouble as you. I've tried all the tricks posted here - including embedding as a resouce. I've just about had enough with this control - it's more trouble than its worth. Certainly not worth buying the full version if the licensing issues are the same. I've spent about a day messing around re-installing, trying deploying all with the same "runtime" license error. Gonna stick to Excel or microsoft chart control - at least they work :-( Tim "Mike" <michaelsouth@ntlworld.com> wrote in message news:LeSjV2CKCHA.2752@webserver1.softwarefx.com... > > I have exactly the same circumstances as you, I made a single form program > with 1 button that displays a chart and it works on the development machine > and all tested distributions of it to other machines.

Software FX Posted November 22, 2002 Report Posted November 22, 2002 I'm afraid that without an explanation of the problem we can not provide a solution. Hundreds of people is successfully using Chart FX Lite and deploying applications with it, so the fact that it is not working for you doesn't mean it doesn't work. Most people that experienced some kind of problem with the license was able to fix them either by changing something on their side or by installing a SP provided by us. If you are still interested, I'll be glad to help you with your specific situation, but I will need the details for that. -- FP Software FX, Inc.
