User (Legacy) Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 I've upgraded our operating system and am having trouble with the license file. I've followed the instructions below but still getting the license error message "Failed to download license." I also can not access the file directly via a browser: http://ourservername.pnl.gov/license/CfxIE.lic but, can access the license file under a similar installation on a Win2000 Server (IIS 5.0) Is this a Win2003 issue? I also noticed the behaviors described in Q1432058. Is the recommended resolution identical for ChartFX IE 2000? Originally, ChartFX IE 2000 users were advised to hang the real directories off of wwwroot. Does it matter? Seems to me it might be better to have everything in one place, in the program files area. Thank you, --Jim Miller Internet Explorer shows a "Failed to download license" message inside the chart Description: ChartFX Internet was not able to download the license file Resolution: - Check that a file named CfxIE.lic is located on your webserver at (WWWRoot\License) for ChartFX IE 2000 users or (C:\Program Files\CfxIE\License) for ChartFX Internet 5.5 users. - Check that the NT file permissions on this folder (License) allows Read access to the user impersonated by IIS (typically IUSR_MachineName) - Check in your web server configuration that you have a virtual directory called "License" pointing to the "WWWRoot\License" or "C:\Program Files\CfxIE\License" folder. If you are hosting multiple web sites please make sure that you create the "License" virtual directory in each of the web sites that will use ChartFX.

Software FX Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 About the lic (and chw) issue: Win2003 only serve files with specific (and well known) extensions such as jpeg, png, etc. - Internet Information Service Manager - Right click "Default Web Site" and select properties - HTTP Headers page - Click on the "MIME Types" button - Click new - Set the extension to chw and the mime type to "application/octet-stream" - OK - Click new - Set the extension to lic and the mime type to "application/octet-stream" - OK ... About where to have the physical folders. When we released CfxIE 2000 we switched to program files because it makes support easier, also when hosting multiple sites it ensures you are using the most recent service pack for downloadable files. I would recommend moving the files to C:\Program Files\... -- Regards, JC Software FX Support "Jim Miller" <james.miller@pnl.gov> wrote in message news:W4V%23mzfYDHA.3476@WEBSERVER1... > I've upgraded our operating system and am having trouble with the license > file.
