  Hi,
  
  I updated the ComponentOne Studio from 4.0.20173.282 to 4.0.20173.286 and after updating the references I am now getting a nag screen telling me that I am using an evaluation version etc etc. Do I need to un-install and then re-install the license? It was a pain last time round.

  Also, FYI I do not have a C1Licensing.exe file in the Program Files\Component1… bin folder.

  Note purchase was via ComponentSource on 27-Nov-2017

  Hello,

  The evaluation message pop up appears in the following two cases:

  1. Your system does not have a valid license key for the controls.
  2. The entries of the licenses.licx file do not match with the controls used in the application.

  In your case, it seems that the licenses file either doesn’t exist, contains wrong information, or is not configured correctly.
  
  First, try a full rebuild (Rebuild All from the Visual Studio Build menu). This will usually rebuild the correct licensing resources.

  The entry for every C1 control used in the application at design time or run time should be present in the licenses.licx file of the project. If you have added controls at runtime, drag and drop the controls on the form to generate their corresponding entries in the licenses.licx file and then you may delete the controls. You can also use the LicxGenerator to generate a licenses.licx file for your application. You can learn more about the same using the below mentioned blog post:

  Is the solution with which this project is showing this nag screen, consisting of other projects too? If yes, then we would like to inform you that every project that consists of ComponentOne components should contain a licenses.licx file with valid entries for all the C1 controls used in the project.

  For complete list of entries, you may refer the following URL:

  Hope this helps.

  Best Regards,
