yes
•Does QuickOPC work correctly when you use the installer on the target machine? (I understand the answer is Yes here? - need confirmation)
yes
•If you do not use the installer on the target machine, which C++ runtime are you installing
yo
the step I took for this test
1. install reg key and try to run executable <--- nothing happens
2. install full build of QuickOPC 5.21 --> check licnses manager lic is present --> run executable --> the program runs
3. uninstall QuickOPC 5.21 from add remove programs --> run executable --> nothing happens
4. install reg key again and try to run executable <-- nothing happens
5. reinstall full build of QuickOPC 5.21 --> run executable -- the program opens
I have verified as shown in the attached bmp files that the runtimes are the same during all the testing
bmp can not seem to insert

- The full build number of QuickOPC 5.21 (e.g. from 1st page of the installation program)
- Does QuickOPC work correctly when you use the installer on the target machine? (I understand the answer is Yes here? - need confirmation)
- If you do not use the installer on the target machine, which C++ runtime are you installing yo
And additional questions:
- When you say "I install license manager", what precisely do you do? Are you running the QuickOPC installation in the "Express" mode, effectively installing not only the License Manager, but also the rest of QuickOPC? Or are you installing it choosing a Custom installation type and selecting just the License Manager? Or how?
- What is your main problem? Is it that you cannot get your program to run withoutt "installing the license manager", or is it that, if I understand it well, the uninstallation of QuickOPC breaks the app?
Thank you

But it isn't.
If the problem was with the license, the symptoms would be quite different: Your program will run, and after 30 minutes, you will get an exception indicating the the trial runtime is over.
Have you followed the "Application Deployment" instructions from the Concepts document? There are some pre-requisites that must be installed; such as Microsoft Visual C++ runtime libraries. Those installers come directly from Microsoft, but they are truly requird - there is no way you can run just your app on a clean system.
The actual versions of what's needed depend on the version and build of QuickOPC. If you were using version 5.20, for example, the MS runtimes have changed in version 5.21. And, just recently we have made a change to back-support Windows XP, based on new libraries that Microsoft has released, and that means a different MS installer too. The correct should always, be, however, in the Concepts document that gets installed with the version and buid you are using.

Attached is another win form I created to test; it is absolutely nothing but a form with the easyDA client and browse imbedded. When I add the reg key it does not open when I install the license manager it opens when I uninstall the license manager it no longer opens

The document talks in terms of installation program, but if you like, you can make the same actions at the beginning of your application instad. Just make sure they are done before you use any of the QuickOPC types. Note that admin rights may be necessary to modify the registry.
The license information, as stored on the computer, is cryptographically protected against modification. That is, one cannot change e.g. the Subject (licensee) name, without invalidating it. The purpose of having it stored the way it is is twofold:
- It can be easily determined whether licensed QuickOPC is being used on the particular computer or not.
- If it is used, it can be determined where the license "comes from" (which license it is).
