Hi Team,
We want to know dotConnect will support linux and how it'll work.
How to check install and deploy on production environment.

dotConnect for PostgreSQL includes two types of assemblies:
1) .NET Framework -> supplied with the provider installation
2) .NET Core -> available via NuGet

Both of them you can use with Mono on Linux:

(1)
Our provider can't be installed on Linux. You should install dotConnect for PostgreSQL on a computer with a Windows OS and then copy the required Devart.* assemblies (Devart.Data.dll, Devart.Data.PostgreSql.dll, etc) to OS with Mono. When you create an application that uses Devart.* assemblies, it must have a specially formed embedded license resource. It is checked when a connection is opened. As you can't install dotConnect for PostgreSQL on Linux, you will have to compile the license resource manually (http://www.devart.com/dotconnect/postgr ... ml#compile) on a Windows computer, and then copy it to Mono computer and attach it to your project as an Embedded Resource.

(2)
Install the .NET Core assemblies via NuGet: https://www.nuget.org/packages/devart.data.postgresql. Then enable a trial licensing: https://www.devart.com/dotconnect/postg ... ndard.html > the "dotConnect for PostgreSQL Trial Licensing on Linux" section.

Hi Team,
Thanks for your updates. I would like to share the project which we're currently working and also following issues we're facing both windows and linux on dotnet core application.

Your suggestions is more valuable for our development.

1. license.licx should not work with .NET Core assemblies.

2. The dotConnect for PostgreSQL installation should create C:\ProgramData\Devart\dotConnect\License\Devart.Data.PostgreSql.key.

We've install Devart dotConnect for PostgreSQL Professional version 7.10.103, but not able to get
Devart.Data.PostgreSql.key

We've bought dotconnect and also have activation key. Can you please help to create Devart.Data.PostgreSql.key and send a mail Devart.Data.PostgreSql.key key on our registered account

Thanks

C:\ProgramData\Devart\dotConnect\License

folder not created, can you please help me on that

C:\ProgramData\Devart\dotConnect\License\Devart.Data.PostgreSql.key is created only for the trial version. The licensed version doesn't create this file, because you should use your license key from Customer Portal in this case.

To get LicenseKey, please use the credentials (URL, account name, and password) that were sent to you after the purchase of our product, then press View in the "Activation Key" column against the product dotConnect for PostgreSQL Professional. Assign this value to the License Key connection string parameter.

Does it work?
