Global Unlock

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

require 'chilkat'

success = false

#  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 = Chilkat::CkGlobal.new()
success = glob.UnlockBundle("Anything for 30-day trial")
if (success == false)
    print glob.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

status = glob.get_UnlockStatus()
if (status == 2)
    print "Unlocked using purchased unlock code." + "\n";
else
    print "Unlocked in trial mode." + "\n";
end

#  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  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";
