# 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:
$glob = New-Object Chilkat.Global
$success = $glob.UnlockBundle("Anything for 30-day trial")
if ($success -ne $true) {
    $($glob.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

$status = $glob.UnlockStatus
if ($status -eq 2) {
    $("Unlocked using purchased unlock code.")
}
else {
    $("Unlocked in trial mode.")
}

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