Hi... is there any way to determine what license key I used when I installed NetAdvantage? A while ago we purchased three licenses and we've installed the software, but we don't know who used what license key. Of course we've also lost the original email/paperwork with the licenses. If we can "re-discover" the keys on our PCs, that would be excellent. I scanned the registry and the install folder but came up empty.
Ideas?
Thanks, Steve
From any Windows Forms or ASP.NET application on a computer where you installed the toolset, open up a form, page, or user control in design view that contains a NetAdvantage control. Find the "(About)" property of the control. Click the ellipsis for that property to bring up the "About" dialog, which (among other things) will list you the key you used to install the toolset on that computer.
I am unable to use the suggested approach. I am trying to update a machine to the latest version of Infragistics in order to build software that uses the latest version. The machine has an older install on it, and I need to determine what key it is using and whether that key it is paid up through the latest version. Because the code uses a newer version the designer won't open on the machine in question... Any other way to get this information?
The issue you've described is likely caused by a mismatch between the exact version (including build number) that your application is using, compared to the exact version installed on the computer. The license key used has no impact on this - the toolsets only check to see that a license for the correct version is installed, not that it matches the one used when originally creating the application.
Under what platform is the application written? Is it ASP.NET, Windows Forms, WPF, Silverlight, or JSF? This will help me to point you to possible locations to look, as well as to let me move this thread to a more appropriate forum.
