Hello,

I've upgraded to v3.4 but still have a few people emailing me about the trial timing out. The last person sent me "732,819" as the number of days that it had been running, which kind of matches previous problem (they were all 7xxsomething).

I'm not doing anything fancy or messing with the source code. It's all pretty much just exactly as in the examples.

Have you had anyone else with this problem? Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

We have one similar issue reported - but we have been unable to replicate the issue or get to the bottom of it. See:

Are you checking Invalid flag?

Are the problems happening on Vista?

We think we have got to the bottom of this issue - and it has nothing to do with Vista after all.

The problem arises if you run your application from a Network shared drive. In this case the .NET framework trust level is not set to "Full Trust" by default. This means the application can't access any registry resources or access the local file system. For most windows forms applications this would be a major problem. Since the EvaluationMonitor is one of the first bits of code in an application to run it encounters the issue first.

There are two solutions:

1. Run the application from a local drive.
2. Increase the .NET level of trust for the intranet zone. You do this by using the Control Panel->Administrative Tools->.NET Framework 2.0 Configuration option to "Adjust Zone Security".

Your code should check the Invalid property of the EvaluationMonitor and if it is true warn the user that they need to run from a local drive.
