dotConnect Express Edition - License Issue

[ilumnoInt]

Hi,

I have downloaded and installed dotConnect for Oracle express edition.
I am trying to test the connection to the server, but I am getting License issues.

{Devart.Common.LicenseException: Feature is not supported.
...
}

Code: Select all

            var builder = new Devart.Data.Oracle.OracleConnectionStringBuilder();
            builder.Direct = true;
            builder.Server = "MyIpServer";
            builder.ServiceName = "Service.Name";
            builder.UserId = "dbUser";
            builder.Password = "dbPwd";
            builder.LicenseKey = @"..."; // that is "Activation Key" in Customer Portal

            var conn = new Devart.Data.Oracle.OracleConnection(builder.ConnectionString);
            conn.Open();

Do I need a LicenseKey for Express edition? How do I get it?

Do I need a LicenseKey for Express edition?

No, you don't. Express edition requires neither License Key, nor licenses.licx.

My example was created follwing the walkthrough explained in viewtopic.php?t=35459#p123288

I've left the property LicenseKey empty due to I have no license.

Code: Select all

builder.LicenseKey = @"";

When I run my console application I still get the error.

Devart.Common.LicenseException: 'Feature is not supported.'

This is how my project file looks like

Code: Select all

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp1.1</TargetFramework>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Devart.Data.Oracle.EFCore" Version="9.4.314" />
  </ItemGroup>

</Project>

I am missing something?

Thanks.

1. Please employ trial license file C:\ProgramData\Devart\dotConnect\License\devart.data.oracle.key, it is created automatically by dotConnect for Oracle Professional Trial installation (download link). For more information, refer to https://www.devart.com/dotconnect/oracl ... ndard.html. Does this help?
