Hi,

we encountered a tchart.dll loading problem on some machines, it takes up to 15 seconds to load the dll.

This is a no-go for us, because we use automated runs in our production where multiple applications are started, causing a dll load every time.
So the 15 seconds are multiplied by 50 or so, causing a high delay of our production on every run serveral times a day.

We know that the reason for this is the request to a license server, checking for a valid license/signature.
The problem therefore occurs only, if the machine has a network connection but no internet access.
In the forum we found this:
http://www.teechart.net/support/viewtop ... it=startup
We also found a workaround, using a registry entry to switch off the license request (same as the Internet Explorer switch),
but this is no option, because we are not allowed to change the Internet explorer settings of our customer machines.

We use TChart 3.5.3498 (x86) and Visual Studio 2005.
I tried 3.5.3700, but it shows the same behavior.

So the questions are:
- is there a newer version, that has a different license request with no internet required?
- what else can we do to prevent the delay?

We are willing to buy a newer version, source code license.
But if this does not help with our problem, we will have to drop TChart.

Please help.

Hello,

We'll take a look if the 'unlocked' version behaves in a different way or if we can come up with another suggestion and we'll get back to this thread.

Hi,

As you can read in the discussion you mentioned, we ended up adding unsigned dlls with the installers for those with this problem.
http://www.teechart.net/support/viewtop ... tup#p47549

The latest installers create a NoDigitalCertificate folder containing the unsigned versions of the dlls.

Hi

Since the evaluation version doesn't include the unsigned dlls, I'll send you a TeeChart .NET v3 unsigned version we made in the past for another customer, so you can give it a try.
I've just sent it to the mail account you have registered in this forums.
