//  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. 
//  
//  <b>After licensing Chilkat, replace the "Anything for 30-day trial" with the purchased unlock code.</b>
//  To verify the purchased unlock code was recognized, examine the contents of the LastErrorText
//  property after unlocking.  For example:
$glob = new CkGlobal();
$success = $glob->UnlockBundle('Anything for 30-day trial');
if ($success == false) {
    print $glob->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

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

//  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//  Important: In most cases, you'll want to use Chilkat in full utf-8 mode.
//  In a future major version release, the DefaultUtf8 property's default will change to true.
//  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$glob->put_DefaultUtf8(true);

//  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";
