(C#) Global Unlock

Demonstrates how to unlock the Chilkat API with a global (Bundle) purchased unlock code, or with a 30-day trial unlock code.

// 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. 
// 
// After licensing Chilkat, replace the "Anything for 30-day trial" with the purchased unlock code.
// To verify the purchased unlock code was recognized, examine the contents of the LastErrorText
// property after unlocking.  For example:
Chilkat.Global glob = new Chilkat.Global();
bool success = glob.UnlockBundle("Anything for 30-day trial");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(glob.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

int status = glob.UnlockStatus;
if (status == 2) {
    Debug.WriteLine("Unlocked using purchased unlock code.");
}
else {
    Debug.WriteLine("Unlocked in trial mode.");
}

// The LastErrorText can be examined in the success case to see if it was unlocked in
// trial more, or with a purchased unlock code.
Debug.WriteLine(glob.LastErrorText);
