Demo water mark appearing

Post by Andre2 »

Hi All
I have a situation where users who access our application via TS session are getting a DEMO stamp appearing on all reports.
This is not happening on any thick client deployed workstations.
How do I fix this?

Demo water mark appearing

Post by Edward »

'Demo' mark can be shown only in one case - when the application uses trial versions of our dlls.
These libraries could be placed in GAC (during installation of Trial version for example).
If application has references to registered dlls and doesn't have them to trial versions, then 'Demo' is never shown.

We do not have any additional defense of our registered dlls except of 'Demo' Watermark.

So references to appropriate version of dlls is enough for remove "Demo" from the application.

Please follow the steps:

1) Check the GAC for Stimulsoft*.dll files. To access the GAC just open 'Administrative Tools' from Control Panel. Then 'Microsoft .Net Framework 'xxx version' Configuration'

2) Remove 'Stimulsoft' Tab from Visual Studio ToolBox and add if necessary it again for components you are using from non-trial version of Stimulsoft.Report.Web.dll, Stimulsoft.Report.dll and/or Stimulsoft.Controls.dll.

3) Remove references to Stimulsoft*.dlls from your Application and add them again but for new installed dlls.

Please let me know if any assistance with it is required.

Thank you.
