VpeLicense 3.6 crash/hang

[sergio_osuna]

We are having an intermittent issue where the VpeLicense crashes/hangs:

long document = VpeOpenDoc(HWindow, title, /*pageWidth, pageHeight,*/
VPE_EMBEDDED + VPE_NO_HELPBUTTON + VPE_NO_INFOBUTTON + VPE_FIXED_MESSAGES);

if (document != NULL)
{
VpeLicense(document, "VPE-XXXXX-XXXX", "XXXX-XXXX");
...

The application can run fine for weeks and then fail at VpeLicense
When the application runs fine, the reports never show any demo banners

I was wondering what conditions can cause the VpeLicense function to crash/hang

[IDEAL Software Support]

We have no idea what could cause the crash or hang. You are the first one reporting this problem. However, VPE v3.60 is from September 2004 and therefore 8 years old. We do not maintain this version. We strongly recommend that you update to the current version v6.10.
