Hi flopi

When you install Quick PDF Library for the first time a license key is automatically generated and set to expire 30 days from the day that you first installed.

When did you originally install Quick PDF Library?

Cheers,

Hi Rowan,

You are right, I have an older installation of the trial version on that PC.

The thing is I am waiting for a bug fix before I upgrade. I hope it's in 7.17.

Thanks.

I have been trying to unlock my demo install, version 7.17, using a dll call from a language named xharbour, that is a derivative from clipper.

This is a language that uses C.

I used a sequence of calls like this:

/* this library is copied to the windows\system32 */

wDLL := loadlibrary("QuickPDFDLL717.dll")

/* entry point address of the unlock function */

cAddress := GetProcAddress(wDLL, "QuickPDFUnlockKey")

/* call that function with its only parameter: my demo unlock key /*

/* this key is valid up to next dec-20 */

wResult := calldll(cAddress, "j53g75ru43q6dw9kh4r17mb3y")

In any case I couldn't unlock the library, as it gives always a zero result in wResult.

Does anyone know what is going on?

It is like the unlock key is not valid because I could see (or test) that the library is properly loaded in memory and I can get a pointer to the entry point of any function inside the dll file.

The thing is I always get a zero result from the call to QuickPDFUnlockKey, and I can't test anyone of the remaining functions.

I sent a couple of mail messages to Karl and Rowan, who gave me initial support but didn't give me any hint about my problem.

I posted the code in a news site about this xharbour language, supported in google (comp.lang.xharbour) and I did what the "guru" people there said, but I couldn't get it to work with the tools I have.

Regards,

Claudio

Did you see my post "QuickPDF ... The first steps" in the section "General discussion"?
