Do I need to upgrade?
Posted: Wed 11 Oct 2017 18:44
We originally purchased dotConnect for MySQL Professional Edition v 5.0.20.0. We licensed and ran our original product on Windows XPe SP3 having built the application using Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition and .NET Framework v 3.5 SP1. It's still running great! Unfortunately, some of the hardware components are reaching end of life and can no longer be purchased. So, we are porting to new hardware that is running Windows 10 and building the application using Visual Studio Professional 2015 Update 3 and .NET Framework v 4.6.1. Ideally, we would like to continue using the same licenses.licx licensing scheme (transparent), but we have encountered a problem. On our new platform, when we attempt to connect to our MySQL server, we get the following error, "Connection error: Assembly that contains embedded dotConnect for MySQL license cannot be used with this application: <<our-application-name>>>. Please correct license information." Also, in VS Pro 2015, we are not seeing the MySQL item under the Tools menu, but we were (are) able to see it when using VS 2008. Here, https://www.devart.com/dotconnect/mysql ... ml#compile, I noticed and attempted Compiling License Manually, but my attempt was unsuccessful ... same error. Do I need to upgrade or can I get this old dotConnect for MySQL version running??? Any help will be most appreciated. Thanks for reading.
