Aladdin HASP Envelope issues with TeeChart

[Ex Flammae Veritas]

We are having issues with the HASP envelope for .NET 2.0 version 1.11. After having applied the envelope the software no longer want to initialize the teechart.dll (version2 for Visual Studio 2005) that we are using for graphics in a C# form. It only works on my PC but when tested on other PCs it crashes. I have been using the recommended command line tool for .Net 2.0 assemblies and utilized a xml config file for the Aladdin HASP envelope. An exception trace file is generated =

Hi Ex Flammae Veritas,

The error message you mention could be related to a license issue. Could you please read the forums thread below speaking about some common licensing issues?

Greetings Narcís

I have ensured that the licneces.licx is embeddedas a resource and that the TeeChart.dll is included into the project. If istalled on my system (design time) it work - even with th eHASP dongle. Yet, when deployed to a different machine (runtime) it fails with the error described above.

I did alter the registery entry -
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Steema Software\TeeChart.NET]
"DesignKey"="Steema.TeeChart.TChart is a licensed component."

to become this -
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Steema Software\TeeChart.NET]
"DesignKey"="xxxxSteema.TeeChart.TChart is a licensed component."

on th edesign machine and the project stoppped working with the following error trace -
=============================================
EXCEPTION MESSAGE:
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 TeeChart.dll (version 2.0.2306.26232) is included in the directory)

What does this mean? am I on my way to correcting th eissue?
