Hi all,

Strange behaviour with dbexpsda30.dll...
What I did:
1) Backup a (working) SQL Server database
2) Change the system date (to tomorrow)
3) Testing our application (because it has to do something every new day)
4) Change the system date back to today
5) Restore the SQL Server backup

When I now start my application, I get the message "Sorry, but the 30 days trial period has expired. To purchase a registered version of DbxSda, visit crlab.com"

DbxSda isn't installed on that machine. The dll is available in the program directory.

Restarting the machine has no result, neither is removing the dll and copy the dll from a working machine in the program directory.

The only thing that works is setting the system date to tomorrow?!

How can I solve that problem, and work "today" on my machine?

Regards,

Filip.

This mechanism prevents illegal attempts to prolong trial period of the driver. In your case you can change the system date to the current, and stop using the driver for a day. When the current time will be greater that the time of last driver use, it should work properly again.
