License problem after uninstall

AlexanderPriem · Post by **AlexanderPriem** » Mon 18 Feb 2008 15:17

Hello,

I have re-installed Windows (etc.) on my development PC, and now I am running into weird problems with PostgreSQLDirect.NET licensing.

I have installed Windows XP, then all the latest Windows updates, then CodeGear RAD Studio 2007 (also with all the updates from CodeGear). Then I installed CoreLab PostgreSQLDirect.NET 3.30 (.NET 2.0 version, Standard Site License).

Every project I build gives me the following error (which I cannot find anywhere an your website or in forums) :

Assembly (C_SOL) is not licensed to use PostgreSQLDirect .NET.
Please correct license information.

That is the server error I receive.

I have uninstalled PostgreSQLDirect.Net, removed all Corelab Files (corelab.*) and reinstalled, but that did not help.

I have added the licenses.licx to the project.

This is very weird. Everything ran OK before I reinstalled Windows, but now I cannot get it running.

Can you tell me why this message is being shown? And what I can do to solve it? I cannot find this error message on your website.

We have a Standard Site license for 3.30.

Thanks in advance, Alexander.

I have found out that the apllication DOES work correctly on my development machine when I REMOVE the licences.licx file from the project. The web-app (which is ASP.NET 2.0) does work correctly in that case.

However, I remember that if I dont include the licences.lics file into the project, I cannot deploy it to another server, I get a license error in that case.

Before I re-installed Windows, I had the licences.licx file in my project, and it worked fine, both on my development PC as on another (production) server.

I hope you can clarify this for me.

The contents of my licences.lics file is as follows :

CoreLab.PostgreSql.PgSqlConnection, CoreLab.PostgreSql

P.S. I dont know if this information helps, but I do NOT use visual components, I create the PgsqlConnection at runtime (in code).

This has never been a problem.

I hope to hear from you soon

Try copy/paste this line into license.licx file:

Code: Select all

CoreLab.PostgreSql.PgSqlConnection, CoreLab.PostgreSql, Version=3.30.23.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=09af7300eec23701

then recompile your project.

I tried your suggestion, but I get the same error message :

[PgSqlException (0x80004005): Assembly (C_SOL) is not licensed to use PostgreSQLDirect .NET.
Please correct license information.]

This error (exception) is thrown when I call the Open() method of the PgSqlConnection. The exact same code compiled and worked perfectly before I reinstalled the PC.

The only difference is that before the reinstallation I used the Rad Studio 2007 Architect Trial, and now I am using a registered Rad Studio 2007 Architect with the latest updates from CodeGear.

I have tried several times to get it working on my development pc, but no luck. Without the licenses.licx it works, but as soon as I add the licenses.licx file, it wont work on my development machine.

Could this be some incompatibility with the registered Rad Studio 2007, or the november 2007 update? I had no problems with the Rad Studio 2007 Trial.

By the way, I dont know if this is relevant, but I dont get a file named "App_Licenses.dll" in my bin folder. I get the files x.dll, x.dll.config, x.dll.licenses in my bin folder (x being the name of my app).

Maybe this information helpps you further. I hope this cant be solved soon, as this prevents me from developing my web app

We couldn't reproduce this error on RAD Studio 2007 Version 11.0.2799.9201 and Standard
PostgreSQLDirect .NET 3.30 for .NET 2.0
Could you please make a sample project with only one connection and send us a compiled binary?

AlexanderPriem · Post by **AlexanderPriem** » Tue 19 Feb 2008 13:15

Hmm, there have been at least two updates after version 11.0.2799.9201. Maybe this is the cause of it. I am using the latest version, which is 11.0.2902.10471.

I will create a test-app and send you the code and binary...

Ok. We are waiting for a test project.
We will try to find out what causes
the license problem as soon as possible.

AlexanderPriem · Post by **AlexanderPriem** » Tue 19 Feb 2008 15:43

I sent the test project to [email protected] two hours ago.

Did you receive it ?

Alexey.mdr · Post by **Alexey.mdr** » Wed 20 Feb 2008 12:55

Yes, we did.
We are investigating this problem.
I will send you an email as soon as possible.
