Your PowerSNMP License Agreement provides you with a single-seat development license and the right to distribute PowerSNMP controls with NO ROYALTIES of any kind. Some PowerSNMP objects are marked as licensed.
To install PowerSNMP for ActiveX as a fully functional trial, run the trial installation package (available from each product page on www.dart.com). The trial will operate for 30 days after installation. After purchasing a license, a link will be provided to the installation for a licenseable version. Follow the instructions below when you are ready to license the product.
See Trial Operation for more information.
After installing PowerSNMP for ActiveX, run the Activate PowerSNMP for ActiveX shortcut from the Start Menu, available under All Programs > Dart > PowerSNMP for ActiveX > 4.0, and follow the utility's instructions. This utility is not available for trial installations; for purchasing options, please see the product page on www.dart.com or contact sales@dart.com.
After completing the license activation process, the entry for PowerSNMP for ActiveX should be appended by '(activated)' in the list on the main page of the activation utility. Make sure you re-establish any cached license information if your development environment requires it and/or recompile your application after you activate PowerSNMP for ActiveX.
When you insert a PowerSNMP control into a project, most development environments verify that the control is licensed for development. The control will work if the license activation process has been successfully completed, as above. When you compile your application, the development environment requests this Serial Number and embeds it in the application. When users run your application, the application submits this Serial Number to the control and the Serial Number is checked for validity. If the Serial Number is correct, then the application runs. This verification process occurs automatically.
Visual Basic checks for a Serial Number when a PowerSNMP control is first inserted on a form or first shown on a form. When a PowerSNMP control is loaded as a reference and is dynamically instantiated (for example, Dim Tcp as New Tcp), the Serial Number is similarly checked.
Visual C++ obtains the Serial Number when you first insert a PowerSNMP control on a form, and caches that number as a dialog resource. License caching is MFC only; see the ClassFactory class documentation for information on dynamically creating a licensed instance of the controls.
If the component is used in an environment that doesn't automatically implement ClassFactory2, such as classic ASP or other scripted environments, or .NET project types that don't include a designer, developers can use the included ClassFactory class to instantiate an instance of the product's licensed classes. See the ClassFactory class documentation for information.
PowerBuilder caches licensing information. Remove and re-add the control to update the license.
