Marvin Licenses for ASP.NET

Hi Folks,





Know that this question came up a while back, just wondering if there are any updates.





Basically we have developed an ASP.NET application that uses Marvin applet embedded in a web-form. Everything works fine with the exception that calculator plugins do not work by default due to a licences file not being available.





Is it still the case that the only work around is to install a license file locally on each client machine (ie each machine that uses the web app) ? Can mview be configured to access this license information for a central location / database?





Know that we can just install the licence files on the client machines, just a bit annoying to have a nice web-app that needs to install stuff on the client to work.





Cheers.

Hi Peter,





in the 5.0 version a new licensing system was introduced which should solve this. Our sales department will send you a new license file so that you can test the new method.





You will simply need to use the following API:

Code:

chemaxon.license.LicenseManager.setLicenseFile(String path)

The parameter should be the URL of the license.cxl file being on your server. This method works only with "Server Mode" licenses.





The apidoc will be released with 5.0.1 in the days, until then it is available here:

Kind regards,

Thanks for the update. Will try to incorporate into our next release.





Cheers.
