Switching between Development and Production Runtime versions.
Both SDK and PDK can be installed on your system. Unless your application implements Registration-Free COM Activation the currently registered version of ClearImage runtime is used. If you observe periodic Dialog Boxes, then the Development version is active. If your application receives an error calling unlicensed function, then the Production version is active. If you never see either the Dialog Boxes or the licensing errors, then you are using the licensed Production version, or your Evaluation period is still in effect..
To identify the current active version or to switch between versions:
- Start the Inlite Licensing Manager from Start -> Programs -> ClearImage
- Click on Version Menu
- Active version has check mark next to it.
- Click on another version to activate.
