Confused person needs to know: Where do I put license file?

Question

This is a stupid question (and I KNOW it is dumb), but I'm really not.

Where do I put the license file I received when I bought Express?
I don't have a config file, nor do I know what one is in vb.net 2003.

I am a newbie to VB.net 2003 and I searched the forums, and the helpfile was no help either.
I have never used .xml either.

Sheepishly,

Answer 1

If you don't have a config file, then you just set the LicenseKey and LicenseOwner properties with your license details.

BTW, those properties were introduced in version 1.1.2 on 8 September - for earlier version there is an Unlock method which takes these details.

In the help howto section there is a howto on using the license file.

Answer 2

I am not using the controls. I am using coding only access to ftp.
That is why I am confused. I read the 'how to' but it was not clear in the
circumstance I am using.

I am sorry I am not understanding.

Answer 3

Are you using ExFTPConnection? (you should be). It has two properties, LicenseKey and LicenseOwner. You set them to your license details. It doesn't matter that you aren't using the controls, ExFTPConnection is still the class you should use. It works just the same for non-GUI FTP programs.

e.g.

   ' Instantiate ExFTPConnection
   Dim ftpConnection as new ExFTPConnection

   ' setting server address and credentials
   ftpConnection.ServerAddress = serverAddress
   ftpConnection.ServerPort = serverPort
   ftpConnection.UserName = userName
   ftpConnection.Password = password
   ftpConnection.LicenseKey = "mykey"
   ftpConnection.LicenseOwner = "owner"

   ftpConnection.Connect()

I am not using the controls. I am using coding only access to ftp.
That is why I am confused. I read the 'how to' but it was not clear in the
circumstance I am using.

I am sorry I am not understanding.
