LinqConnect Upgrade (1.0.42.0 to 2.50.25)

Fabsch · Post by **Fabsch** » Thu 21 Jul 2011 09:22

Hello Devart-Support Team,

after the upgrade from Version 1.0.42.0 to the latest version of LinqConnect (2.50.25), I lose the possibility to connect to database like MySQL or Oracle.
But in the Version 1.x is that possible!

I my opinion, the Entity Developer is fault for that problem. The Wizard to create a ER is starting but at this dialog (picture below) I don't see the provider "Devart dotConnect for MySQL, Devart dotConnect for Oracle....".

Can you explain me, how I can solve the problem?

Thanks in Advanced.

Best regards

Fabsch

At the moment, LinqConnect has two editions (Standard and Professional), and the Standard one supports SQL Server only. Please ensure that you've installed LinqConnect Professional (you can check this, e.g., in the Tools -> LinqConnect -> 'About LinqConnect...' item of the Visual Studio main menu).

If yes, it is possible that an error occurred during installation, or you've selected a limited set of LinqConnect components. In this case, please try reinstalling LinqConnect and ensure you've selected providers to all supported DBMSs (enable the corresponding check boxes in the 'Providers' section at the 'Select Components' step of setup).

Please tell us if this helps.

We bought LinqConnect Standard in 2010 October. And to to this moment, it was possible.
I see the point, that only LinqConnect professional accept another Dataprovider to the moment. But I don't understand the way, to remove the function in the 2.x Version. We purchased LinqConnect Standard in 2010 and this Version (1.x) have the feature.

And I see another problem. If we want to use the latest LinqConnect version and want to use it with another dataprovider, we must buy LinqConnect professional.

It's is possible to get a cheaper upgrade from LinqConnect Standard to LinqConnet Professional?

Otherwise, we must buy the application completely again. And this way is awfully bad.
