Unlicensed - when compiled on Windows 7 64bit

[fdzjuba]

I have really wierd problem. If I compile the application under Visual Studio 2008 on Window 7 64bit, when running on a another machine I get "unlicensed version" message only the first time I run the application. It does not come up again. Using the same .licx file if I compile on 32bit XP the same project the "unlicensed version" message error does not appear. I have tried creating a new project with 1 form and fresh .licx file automatically created when the Ribbon control dropped on the form. The same problem, no message if compiled on 32bit XP and message appears (only for the first time) when compiled under Windows 7.

I am using fairly old version of Krypton 2.6.1 (not because I don't want to pay for upgrade but because if I upgrade the libraries to the newer version, all the UI goes nuts and since I have nearly 50 projects with around 600 forms - reviewing each one is not an option).

Is there are any way around this problem?

THe only reliable way around is I think to compile the source code of Krypton on your machine and then use that local build of the asssemblies. The source code installed does not include any license checking, not much point when it could be easily removed from the code, and therefore this would guarantee that you never get a runtime error on any machine.

Good point, in fact I was thinking along the same lines, as I now how the same problem on another machine. To be exact I don't think the license registeres in the first place, if I forward the clock by 31 days it keeps asking for the license key again.

How would I go about getting the source code for version 2.6.1? Or would it be possible to get the DLL library without the license checking bit. Again unfortunatly I have to get the old version due to upgrade problems.
