Demonstrates how to unlock the Chilkat API with a global (Bundle) purchased unlock code, or with a 30-day trial unlock code.

<?php

// 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:
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Global')
$glob = new COM("Chilkat.Global");
$success = $glob->UnlockBundle('Anything for 30-day trial');
if ($success != 1) {
    print $glob->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

$status = $glob->UnlockStatus;
if ($status == 2) {
    print 'Unlocked using purchased unlock code.' . "\n";
}
else {
    print 'Unlocked in trial mode.' . "\n";
}

// The LastErrorText can be examined in the success case to see if it was unlocked in
// trial more, or with a purchased unlock code.
print $glob->LastErrorText . "\n";
