    success = FALSE;

    // The Chilkat API can be unlocked for a fully-functional 30-day trial by passing any
    // string to the UnlockBundle method.  A program can unlock once at the start. Once unlocked,
    // all subsequently instantiated objects are created in the unlocked state. 
    // 
    // <b>After licensing Chilkat, replace the "Anything for 30-day trial" with the purchased unlock code.</b>
    // To verify the purchased unlock code was recognized, examine the contents of the LastErrorText
    // property after unlocking.  For example:
    glob = CkGlobal_Create();
    success = CkGlobal_UnlockBundle(glob,"Anything for 30-day trial");
    if (success != TRUE) {
        printf("%s\n",CkGlobal_lastErrorText(glob));
        CkGlobal_Dispose(glob);
        return;
    }

    status = CkGlobal_getUnlockStatus(glob);
    if (status == 2) {
        printf("Unlocked using purchased unlock code.\n");
    }
    else {
        printf("Unlocked in trial mode.\n");
    }

    // --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Important: In most cases, you'll want to use Chilkat in full utf-8 mode.
    // In a future major version release, the DefaultUtf8 property's default will change to TRUE.
    // --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    CkGlobal_putDefaultUtf8(glob,TRUE);

    // The LastErrorText can be examined in the success case to see if it was unlocked in
    // trial more, or with a purchased unlock code.
    printf("%s\n",CkGlobal_lastErrorText(glob));


    CkGlobal_Dispose(glob);
