VpeWebEnterprise keeps showing demo banner

[Skov_K]

Hi

Im not able to get rid of the demo banner when running my web application on production server.
It works fine on development pc where VPEE paid version is installed.

I have added the VpeWebEnterprise component to an aspx page and the license.licx file was automatically created in the projects Properties folder.

VPEE3271.dll and vJavaScript3271.dll is placed in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 at the server

I have tried with license.licx in web site bin folder and in the C:\Windows\SysWOW64.

The VPE is displayed using the ActiveX. If I display a VPE generated on my dev machine there no demo banner, so its not the ActiveX that cause the problem I guess.

The procedure here http://idealsoftware.com/opensource/net-licensing.html is for VpeEnterprise and cannot be used with VpeWebEnterprise

Please advise how to find the reason.

Thanks. Lars

What does "The VPE is displayed using the ActiveX." mean exactly? Are you using the .NET control or the ActiveX?

Why can the code shown at http://idealsoftware.com/opensource/net-licensing.html not be used for the WebControl of VPE?

Q: What does "The VPE is displayed using the ActiveX." mean exactly? Are you using the .NET control or the ActiveX?

A: A vpe file is written to disk using the VpeWebEnterprise and then the user is redirected to a print preview page that loads the file by providing a url to the activeX.
So I create the file using the .NET component and afterwards viewing the file using the ActiveX.

Q: Why can the code shown at http://idealsoftware.com/opensource/net-licensing.html not be used for the WebControl of VPE?

A: The License method expects a Component, but VpeWebControl is a Control

Code: Select all

VpeWebControl ctrl = new VpeWebControl();
Licenser.IdealLicenseManager.License(ctrl);


Compiler error
The best overloaded method match for 'Licenser.IdealLicenseManager.License(System.ComponentModel.Component)' has some invalid arguments
cannot convert from 'IDEALSoftware.VpeWebEnterprise.VpeWebControl' to 'System.ComponentModel.Component'


I the meantime I have solved the problem.
I had to install the licensed version of Vpe Enterprise on our build server because it the one generating the output files = embed the license information.
Its obvious, but I didn't think of it before.

Thanks for the updated information. Yes, the licensed component must be available on the build system, that is correct.
