Error with licensing

Oh, I see. I was incorrectly assuming that the .REG files received were either directly used (through RegEdit), or that they were exported from the target machine.

I am glad it works now and that you found the reason.

Thank you for reporting it, because although the problem was not really on our side, we will consider improving the error handling so that the exception thrown better indicates the situation, should it happen to somebody else again.

Best regards

Considering that it worked for you using the REG file I sent you ... but it still wasn't working for me. I was able to track down that the installer program I was using (InstallAware) was not writing the data properly to the registry. The hex values were incorrect.

Sorry to bother you. Thank you for your efforts.

So far I was not able to reproduce the issue. I have used the same operating system (Windows 7 Professional, 32 bit), QuickOPC 5.31, and your registration files. Possible differences were in the fact that I have installed QuickOPC (but not the license) using the setup program, and I have used a different application (the demo app) to test the license.

Can you please reply the following:

1. Which precise build of QuickOPC 5.31 are you using? The best way to figure out is to locate one of the assembly DLLs that start with "OpcLabs." in Windows Explorer, then right-click on it, select properties, and read out the version on the Details tab.

2. Please verify that all "OpcLabs.*" assembly DLLs have precisely the same version and build (i.e. all four version number fields should be the same).

3. Have you tried your installation/registration sequence on multiple computers, or just one? If just one, can you try more? If more, does the problem happen on other machines as well, or just this one?

4. Is the computer where the problem appears in a virtualized environment? If so, or if you can easily take and restore snapshots of disk state, will the problem disappear if you install the license using License Manager instead? Will the problem disappear if you install QuickOPC using its own setup program?

Thank you

Hello,

can you please send the .REG file you used (please zip it - otherwise it gets removed by virus checkers) to us, by email to support09 (at) opclabs.com.

I am receiving an error deploying QuickOPC using an OEM license. I've spent three days trying to correct this. My license is issued to my company "Bruker Optics Inc.".

"The type initializer for 'OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.LicensingEasyDAClient' threw an exception"

I've installed the license by exporting the registry key from my development PC (using RegEdit) to a ".reg" file.

DEVELOPMENT PC:
- Windows 7 Enterprise, 64 bit
- QuickOPC 5.31
- Standard; ISV/OEM License
- License Manager displays component: "QuickOPC 5.3"

TARGET PC:
- Windows 7 Professional, 32 bit
- Installed all the dll's for QuickOPC 5.31
- Installed IV/OEM using registry key

Below is the exception information:
