Global Unlock

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

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

-- 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:
local glob = chilkat.Global.new()
local success = glob:unlock_bundle("Anything for 30-day trial")
if not success then
    print(glob.last_error_text)
    return
end

local status = glob.unlock_status
if status == 2 then
    print("Unlocked using purchased unlock code.")
else
    print("Unlocked in trial mode.")
end

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