"Application is not licensed to use this feature."

Hello,

Recently I tried to place a form in a runtime package, and that form uses a TOraSession passed as a parameter to the package. The package works fine, except for this error: “Application is not licensed to use this feature.”

Is there anything I can do to remove this message?

Regards,
Tony.

ODAC has no such restriction. Error message is defined in SysConst unit from Borland. We think Borland uses it for commercial purposes.

unit SysConst;
...
SNL = 'Application is not licensed to use this feature';
...

Thanks for your reply Alex.

The form I have in my runtime package also contains a TOraQuery. Is it possible that by creating a BPL containing a TOraQuery I have violated some "re-distribution" license with ODAC? If I create a BPL that uses ODAC TOraSession and TOraQuery, am I in fact "re-distributing" ODAC? Perhaps I need to purchase the ODAC source code to be able to do this?

Tony.

This message is not generated by ODAC, I think that it is good idea to search this problem in internet, AFAIK it is not too difficult to find its description.
