Unexpected activation request file

Hello,

following the guidelines in http://wyday.com/limelm/help/offline-activation/ I've tried to generate an activation request file by integrating the TurboActivate API in my app.I've used CheckAndSavePKey() + ActivationRequestToFile() (both return TA_OK) and a xml file has been generated.But when I try to manually generate the response file uploading it into my dashboard I get a "Can't generate a TurboFloat key.".Repeating the same sequence using TurboFloatServer the activation works and comparing the two files obtained they are different. Where is my mistake?

Thanks in advance.

We're improving the error code. Instead of "Can't activate a TurboFloat key." it will say: "Can't activate this request because the product key is for TurboFloat Server. However, the customer is trying to use the product key with a version of your app that uses TurboActivate. Either correct the customer, or edit the key to make it for use with TurboActivate."

Short answer: don't try to activate a TFS key in TurboActivate (or vice versa).

Hi Wyatt,

the license key was already set for TurboFloat Server. It's part of a group of others license keys for TurboActivate so, basically, I'm using the same GUID and TurboActivate.dat.I've forgetten to set the correct Pdets path, but now I'm calling correctly TF_PDetsFromPath before CheckAndSavePKey() + ActivationRequestToFile().The resulting .xml is still refused by the manual activation.

You said you're using the TurboActivate API to generate the activation request. That's the problem. Don't do that.

If you're generating an activation request for TurboFloat Server generate it like described in the extensive TurboFloatServer article: http://wyday.com/limelm/help/turbofloat-server/#activate-offline

Ok. I'll do that.

Thank you very much.
