Wyday licensing for Windows application packaging projectSolved
We have developed a WPF app (using Visual Studio 2019 - abbreviation: VS2019). The VS2019 solution also contains a Windows application packaging project (WAP). The WAP project is just a startup project of the main project - and it is just used to create an MSIX package for the main project.
For testing LimeLM, we followed your Getting started with LimeLM tutorial we noticed the following:
- TurboActivate.dll, TurboActivate64.dll etc. had to be copied to \bin\AnyCPU\Debug\AppX\WPFProjName folder of WAP project. The app was not recognizing these files when we put them inside debug or release folders of WPF project. This probably makes sense since WAP is the startup project.
- But when we ran the app, it gave the error: Failed to start the trial: In LimeLM account either the trial days is set to 0, OR the account is set to not auto-upgrade and thus no more verified tirals can be made.
The above error was caught at line ta.UseTrial(trialFlags); of ShowTrial() method that is included in MainWindow.xaml.cs file of WPF project. What could have been the cause of the error? Would you have any suggestion as to where your code and its relevant files (TurboActivate.dll, TurboActivate64.dll etc.) should be placed in situation where we have WPF project along with WAP project? We realize since this is a new approach from Microsoft for creating projects with WAP projects - not many of LimeLM users may have encountered similar issue. But we thought you may have some suggestions so we can test LimeLM before purchasing it. Thank you.
The issue has been resolved. It did not realize that I had left the number of trial days to default (that is 0) in my Wyday account. But I am not deleting this post since it has some other info related to the issue (and my resolution of it) that I was facing due to the inclusion of Windows application packaging project in my main WPF project that may help other readers.
