calling Turboactivate dll directly

Hi,

I am using Windev from PcSoft to develop my application. It uses it's own language: W-language. It can also call Java and .Net so I could use one of those to call TurboActivate but I would rather not because this would mean the user has to have Java or .Net only for the license management.

Windev can also call functions from an external dll directly. Can I use that to call the TurboActivate.dll directly? I guess I just have to try but maybe you have some answer already.

Yes. The integration classes for the languages (C#, VB.NET, Java, Delphi, etc.) are just thin wrappers that call the DLL directly. Plus the classes throw human-readable exceptions rather than using return codes on errors.

You can use any language you want without any external dependencies. You can use the TurboActivate.h file to see the return codes for the functions and what they mean.
