RE: QLZARTV not returning license info as expected

[Dave Murvin <davem@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the response.  I was hopping to get more activity on this, but I 
guess I need to have a more popular subject.  Something religious perhaps? :)

The way I read the API documents, it looked like setting the Default usage 
limit to zero users, the Grace period to 30 days, and then set allow 
default usage limit grace period to Yes would do the job for me.  According 
to the API documentation, if I allow a default grace period, then "The 
default usage limit is the number of users that are able to use the product 
or feature before the license key is installed.  Thus, an unlimited number 
of users can use the product or feature for the number of days in the grace 
period without having a key."

I could certainly use the product, but what confuses me is the return of 
the permanent expiration date (9999999).  I got the same response when I 
set the grace period to zero days.  I was not planning on explicitly 
issuing license requests in the applications, but was just going to check 
when the license expires.  Like I said, I don't care how many users or what 
size machine.  They should just have a license to run the product on a 
particular CPU after the trial period expires.

Perhaps I can just auto-generate a temporary key at product installation time.

This is an evenings and weekends project, so will try some other 
combinations this weekend.

Thanks again for the help.
