License installed - but still in Evaluation mode

9/16/2008

Users often have trouble installing their license keys. Unfortunately there is not much we can do to reduce this problem, but fortunately the user solution is a simple one.

Cause

This occurs because of how Delphi manages paths, and often duplicate or left over files exist. IntraWeb stores your license key in a file called IWLicenseKey.pas. Because this file contains your license, you should never distribute any IWLicenseKey.* files. This file is a source file and does not need to be distributed with your application as the required information is compiled into the application.

Solution

1. Search your complete system for IWLicenseKey.*. Delete any .pas, .dcu, and .obj files that match.
2. Reinstall your key using the license key utility.
3. Rebuild your application.
