License: Cannot compile on Build Server

[fano]

Hi,

We bought Teechart .NET VS2010 4.1.2010.09283 WinForm.

After upgrading our .NET solution with the new TeeChart we are able to compile
and run fine. BUT our the Build server can NOT compile, complaining :

"Properties\licenses.licx (1): Exception occurred creating type 'Steema.TeeChart.TChart, TeeChart, Version=4.1.2010.9283, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9c8126276c77bdb7' System.ComponentModel.LicenseException: An instance of type 'Steema.TeeChart.Chart' was being created, and a valid license could not be granted for the type 'Steema.TeeChart.Chart'. Please, contact the manufacturer of the component for more information."

The same happens for developers who check-out the code and want work on other parts of the .NET solution (not being involved in
any TeeChart usage at all). They cannot even compile the .NET solution.

This seems very unreasonable. Please let us know how this can be resolved. What has to be done
with respect the licensing blocking everybody else.

Thanks,
Norman

Hi Norman,

"Properties\licenses.licx (1): Exception occurred creating type 'Steema.TeeChart.TChart, TeeChart, Version=4.1.2010.9283, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9c8126276c77bdb7' System.ComponentModel.LicenseException: An instance of type 'Steema.TeeChart.Chart' was being created, and a valid license could not be granted for the type 'Steema.TeeChart.Chart'. Please, contact the manufacturer of the component for more information."

This problem indicates that the designtime license was not properly installed in the build server. To check and confirm that you should follow the steps I described here.

The same happens for developers who check-out the code and want work on other parts of the .NET solution (not being involved in
any TeeChart usage at all). They cannot even compile the .NET solution.

On machines where no development with TeeChart takes place but TeeChart related code is required to be built as part of an exterior process, the TeeChart designtime license may be installed using TeeRegister tool mentioned in the link I posted and available at the client download area.

Thanks in advance.
