Trial doesn't work at all

Hi,

The trial for dotconnect Professional doesn't work at all.

After installing, whenever I try connecting it says that the license is invalid.

I've tried going to MySQL menu and importing the license information for an ASP.NET. It just says there are problems with the installation and that it doesn't work.

I'm about to give up on it, honestly. Why can't you download something with a working trial license?

Ron

I am also having the same problem.

Heres My information "dotConnect for MySQL is installed not correctly." is listed under Tools->MySql->License Information.

I have uninstalled/reinstalled several times with no luck.

Vista 64bit with 2008 Professional SP1.

Thanks,
Robert

Rsteckly, please check the version of dotConnect for MySQL you are using (Visual Studio, Tools | MySQL | About dotConnect for MySQL). Is it 5.0.16.0? Tell us also about your environment (OS and IDE).

RobertM, what is the version of dotConnect for MySQL you have? Is its edition Professional Trial too?

Try removing "bin" and "obj" folders from you application and recompiling it again. If you still have this problem please send us compiled executable file (*.exe) of a small test project.
What is exact text of the error message that you have in run time of the test project?

Im not even trying it in a project yet, I am just trying to add a connection to my Server explorer using dotConnect. If my IDE can't connect to let me browse my database then trial is to limited to see if I would even buy the product or the trial doesn't work.
Thanks,
RobertM

Double checked and tryed to create a simple demo app. After creating a demo app (Just adding the referance and the licenses.lix) the following error is listed in the "License Information" "Error in the compiled module: License not valid due to the problems with dotConnect for MySQL installation."
Thanks,
Robert

Please send me (alexsh at devart.com) compiled executable file (*.exe) of a small test project where the MySqlConnection object is created, and where the Open() method is invoked. It will allow us to investigate the problem in detail.
