Steema Central

I have bought a TeeChart .NET 2014 license and installed the TeeChartNET2014_4.1.2014.08120.exe on my development machine. In my .NET 4.5.1 WinForms application everything works fine.
Now I want to build my project on a Team Foundation Server (TFS) but I get errors during building it:

licenses.licx (1): Exception occurred creating type 'Steema.TeeChart.Chart, TeeChart, Version=4.1.2014.8124, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9c8126276c77bdb7' System.ComponentModel.LicenseException: An instance of type 'Steema.TeeChart.Chart' was being created, and a valid license could not be granted for the type 'Steema.TeeChart.Chart'. Please, contact the manufacturer of the component for more information.

licenses.licx (2): Exception occurred creating type 'Steema.TeeChart.TChart, TeeChart, Version=4.1.2014.8124, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9c8126276c77bdb7' System.ComponentModel.LicenseException: An instance of type 'Steema.TeeChart.Chart' was being created, and a valid license could not be granted for the type 'Steema.TeeChart.Chart'. Please, contact the manufacturer of the component for more information.

I have an license.licx file in my project, but I do not want to install TeeChartNET2014_4.1.2014.08120.exe on the TFS server. What can I do?

I look forward to your reply.

Hi teechar14,

This indicates the design-time developer license was not installed in the build server. You can probably fix that running the TeeRegister tool, available at the client download area, as Christopher Ireland explained here.

Thanks for your quick reply.

Is there no other way without installing TeeChart on the build server (TFS)?

It is not an good approach to install every third party library setup on the build server.

Hi teechart14,

Yes, copy the necessary assemblies to the build server and run TeeRegister tool there to install the developer design-time license. That avoids the need to have to run the full TeeChart installer on the build server. More detailed info on TeeRegister tool here.
