User (Legacy) Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 I am using your WinForm dll inside of a ASP.NET project to generate chart images in the code behind. Everything works on my development machine, but when I deploy the web project to the production server I get the "Couldn't get run time license for SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Chart" error. The ASP.NET project has the appropriate licensing information for the WinForm dll. How can I make this work without installing ChartFX onto the production server?

Software FX Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 The Chart FX for .NET Windows Forms component is designed to be used inside a Windows Forms application, not a Web Forms. Chart FX, such as any licensed control, requires a license on the caller executable. When you create a Windows Forms application, Visual Studio automatically embeds the license in the executable. In your case, obviously the caller process is not an executable with a Chart FX license embedded, and as such it fails at run-time. It works on your development computer because the Chart FX installer adds a license to the registry for design-time purposes, and Chart FX uses such license when it fails to obtain the license from the caller executable. Since you are not allowed to run the Chart FX installer on a Production server you will need an alternate licensing scheme. Please contact us sales@online.softwarefx.com (remove online) for further licensing options. On the other hand, we have a product specifically designed to be used on web servers, which is the Chart FX for .NET Web Forms component. This product is a server component, with all the functionality required for such environment, and optimized for its use on web server environments, such as support for web farms, multiple rendering formats, etc. We recommend you to consider replacing the Windows Forms component in your application. If you decide to continue using the Windows Forms component, please contact us for further licensing details. --- Ivan Giugni Product Manager Software FX "Pete Lavelle" <plavelle@welis.com> wrote in message news:mBatTQysFHA.1992@webserver3.softwarefx.com... >I am using your WinForm dll inside of a ASP.NET project to generate chart >images in the code behind.
