You still get evaluation watermarks on output generated.
Either you have not correctly (or at all) - entered your developers serial number and developers code in your uncompiled application source code and then recompiled your application ready for 'Live' licensed use !
We provide unrestricted evaluation downloads allowing full use of all our developers SDK's for all products with no timeouts or limitations - save that all output generated will be stamped with an evaluation watermark making it obvious that a trial version is being used and the product is not licensed for commercial distribution.
We urge all developers to make use of the evaluation versions as extensively as possible prior to purchase - to ensure satisfaction - once purchased we do not offer refunds. Developers should progress their development to the point of readiness and only purchase when they have fully proven their desired use of the product is successful and are ready for final testing and deployment.
When you have purchased your license you will receive your developers serial number (also referred to as the REG.Key in some documentation) and Developers Code (also referred to as the REG.DevCode) and BOTH these items need to be embedded using the documented functions to remove the trial limitations of the evaluation versions and enable document generation, viewing and printing without trial watermarks/Stamps.
Developers serial numbers/License codes are not needed in any GUI referenced area exposed to the user and must be kept hidden from access or view open to any end user or unlicensed individual.
The product documentation/help files detail which specific function should be used within your project code and the exact syntax/format required - and all examples also show this too with a small section with the text similar to 'Enter Your DevCode here' or similar - which may be searched for and replaced as appropriate.
Examples can be found in your product install sub folder '/Examples/' - likewise documentation is provided similarly in a '/Help' folder in the installation set.
Also note: If a file has been saved with the trial stamps already - these cannot be subsequently removed - any generated document/file must be recreated from the original source material.
Clarion Developers should take note - Unless you are hand coding we provide a simple method to embed these codes into a text file called tsp_lics.inc in your /3rdparty/libsrc/ folder and these are then utilized automatically when using our classes/templates without needing to modify every application specifically.
