Hello Support

We have some problems with our deployment. After installing our App on a Test Machine, it works fine. After installing on a Terminal Server we get the Message "This application was created using an unlicensed evaluation version of Infralution Virtual Tree".

Is there a known problem with Terminal Server?

Another Question:

Assembly MyLibary.dll use VT in a UserControl "MyCustomVT".
Assembly MyModule.dll use "MyCustomVT" on a Form "MyModuleForm".
Assembly MyProgram.exe loads MyModule.dll dynamically and displays "MyModuleForm".

licenses.licx is only automatic created in MyLibrary.dll. Needs MyModule.dll and/or MyProgram.exe a licenses.licx too?

When MyVT inherits from VT, Is there any changes in licenses.licx to do?

Thanks and Best Regards
Giuseppe

Microsofts component licensing mechanism loads licenses by default from the entry assemblies resources. So you will need to copy the license.resx from your DLL project to your EXE project. This may have something to do with your terminal server issue. There are no known issues with terminal server.

Hello Support

It seems to be a problem with Terminal Server, if VT resides on a DLL and it's used by an EXE. I tried to put the license.licx into the EXE. But we get the "Unlicensed evaluation Version of VT" MessageBox.
I will send you my Sample App, maybe you see what is wrong.
If it's a real problem, can you investigate on it?

Thanks and Best Regards

Do you get the same problem under Terminal Server if you compile an exe that uses VT directly?

No, the EXE with VT works fine.

Thanks for sending us your sample apps. The good news is that I don't think it is a problem with Terminal Server. The DLL based app gives me the "compiled with an evaluation version" on a standard WinXP machine. Have you tested this on a clean machine. My guess is that maybe you were running on a machine with Virtual Tree installed on it - and the app was picking up the installed design time license when it couldn't find the run time license.

A quick look at your sample source idenitified the problem. Your "02 From DLL" project has a licx file - but it is empty. I copied the required line from your other license.licx file:

ohh

I can't understand why the licx file in the sample app was empty. To generate the file, i put a VT control on the form in the exe and then I have deleted the control from the form. maybee i forgot to save...
I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I will test the Sample App on TS again.

(Our real App have a good licx file on the exe, but we have the same problem...)

Thanks

Hello Support

The test apps now works fine on TS. It seems that VT works fine with the Terminal Server, but we still have the same problem on our Real App.

In a few days we get some new Server's with more access rights and hope we can find the problem.

Thanks
Giuseppe

Have you tried rebuilding your solution completely?
