' The Chilkat API can be unlocked for a fully-functional 30-day trial by passing any
' string to the UnlockBundle method.  A program can unlock once at the start. Once unlocked,
' all subsequently instantiated objects are created in the unlocked state. 
' 
' After licensing Chilkat, replace the "Anything for 30-day trial" with the purchased unlock code.
' To verify the purchased unlock code was recognized, examine the contents of the LastErrorText
' property after unlocking.  For example:
Dim glob As Chilkat.CkGlobal
Set glob = Chilkat.NewCkGlobal

success = glob.UnlockBundle("Anything for 30-day trial")
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.Print glob.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If


status = glob.UnlockStatus
If (status = 2) Then
    Debug.Print "Unlocked using purchased unlock code."
Else
    Debug.Print "Unlocked in trial mode."
End If

' The LastErrorText can be examined in the success case to see if it was unlocked in
' trial more, or with a purchased unlock code.
Debug.Print glob.LastErrorText
