Licensing

I had a trial version of dotConnect for Oracle and found to work well in my Visual Studio 2005 Solution. Purchased the product today, uninstalled the trial version, installed the purchased version, and deployed my application and Oracle connectivity did not work. I checked the documentation and tried to follow the directions relative to using the License Wizard but I get an error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" (twice) when access the menu option, Tools > Oracle > License Information.

I am not using any form components. I only use the provider in my data access layer.

Thanks.
Mike

1. Please try cleaning the bin and obj folders of your application and, after that, rebuilding your project. Tell us about the results. Probably, your project contains the license resources from the previous (trial) version.
2. Does this problem exist in the new projects?
3.

Oracle connectivity did not work

If the problem persists, please send us an error message and a call stack. In the case you will not manage to get enough information, please make attachment to the process of your Visual Studio from another Visual Studio (to know how to make attachment please refer to http://www.devart.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=41649 , the last post).

Please notify us about the results.

Why can't I view the licensing information using your wizard?

See the video at this link ...

Try licensing your Class Library project manually: http://www.devart.com/dotconnect/oracle ... nsing.html , the Adding License Manually and Class Libraries Support section.

If it doesn't help, please give us the following information:
1) the version (x.xx.xx) and edition of your dotConnect for Oracle;
2) the call stack when the error arises. For this, please make attachment to the process of your Visual Studio from another Visual Studio (to know how to make attachment please refer to http://www.devart.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=41649 , the last post .
3) all types of the projects that are added to your solution from your video.
