Q1: I would like to evaluate ImageGear. What do I need to do?
First you need to visit our web page at: http://www.accusoft.com/imagegear.htm. From there you can register using a valid email account. Second,
you need to fill out a short questionnaire regarding your planned use of the SDK. This includes information about what you are developing
and how you wish to use ImageGear. Our Sales Department will then grant you a downloadable evaluation version of ImageGear.

Q2: How long does my ImageGear evaluation last?
Your initial evaluation will last for 21 days. Once this has been reached, the ImageGear License Manager will tell you that it has expired.

Q3: How do I get an extension on my evaluation period?
When the License Manager notifies that your evaluation period has expired, it will ask you to submit an Evaluation Extension request. This will email a message to the sales system, which will grant you an extension or recommend that you contact an AccuSoft Sales Representative. When you receive the extension via email, you will be instructed to rerun the License Manager to enable the extension.

Q4: What is the process for upgrading my evaluation version to a development version?
Once you have purchased an ImageGear Development license, all you need to do is run the License Manager and select to license in
Development mode. This presumes that you can work with the automated web-based licensing method. If not, you will need to run the
WebProductClient utility at:
https://licensing.accusoft.com/v1/webproductclient/login.aspx
or contact AccuSoft/Pegasus Imaging to manually complete the licensing process.

Q5: During installation of the Microsoft XML Paper Specification Essentials Pack, while running the ImageGear installer I receive error 1722. Why is this occurring?
ImageGear support for the XPS file format depends upon libraries created and distributed by Microsoft Corporation. By default, support for the XPS format is disabled. If you enable support for XPS, the ImageGear installer will attempt to install the libraries required by running the Microsoft XML Paper Specification Essentials Pack installer.

For some scenarios, installation of the Microsoft XML Paper Specification Essentials Pack does not complete successfully, resulting in a 1722 installation error. Should this occur, please try to install this package before running the ImageGear installation. You may obtain this package from Microsoft at:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=b8dcffdd-e3a5-44cc-8021-7649fd37ffee&displaylang=en

If you remain unable to install the Microsoft XML Paper Specification Essentials Pack, please contact Microsoft Corporation for further assistance. In the meantime, ImageGear can be installed with XPS support disabled.

Q6: How do I call the licensing key in my application when using a Development License Key?
Please refer to the appropriate version of the Image Gear SDK that you are using for sample code showing how to license the particular SDK.

For ImageGear Professional 32 bit/64 bit DLL Development:
Call the IG_lic_solution_name_set function. For example:
//Win32
IG_lic_solution_name_set ("AccuSoft 1-100-16");

//Win64
IG_lic_solution_name_set ("AccuSoft 1-104-16");

For ImageGear Professional ActiveX SDK Development:
Call the SetSolutionName method in the License Class. For example:
//Win32
IGCoreCtl.License.SetSolutionName "AccuSoft 1-100-16"

//Win64
IGCoreCtl.License.SetSolutionName "AccuSoft 1-104-16"

For ImageGear .NET 32 bit/64 bit Development:
Call the SetSolutionName method in the ImGearLicense Class. For example:
//Win32
ImGearLicense.SetSolutionName("AccuSoft 1-100-16");

//Win 64
ImGearLicense.SetSolutionName("AccuSoft 1-104-16");

For ImageGear SilverLight Development:
Call the SetService method and then the SetSolutionName method in the ImGearLicense Class.
For example:
string webServiceUrl = string.Format("http://{0}/{1}",
App.Current.Host.Source.DnsSafeHost,
"SilverlightWebService/SilverlightWebService.svc");
ImGearLicense.SetService(webServiceUrl);
ImGearLicense.SetSolutionName("AccuSoft 1-104-16");

For ImageGear Pro JAVA SDK Development:
A solution key should be added to a certain source file and the project should then be rebuilt.
This source file is License.java, found under \ImageGear v16\MD\Java\Samples\accusoft\Samples\Shared

After adding the key the file content will look like the example below.
package accusoft.Samples.Shared;

public class License extends Object
{
public final static String Key = "0.9.sGwRbeZowNwLmfS6sKbopNy9khghKJkhKhkJHkHKHKhkkkIwK5KuoE9soZxnIu9gxyInKdCdiZKpfmR3f3KnowoyCpLn
L56nLsLENwenRu6geERwNwREfmayVkp";
}

Q7: How do I call the licensing key in my application when using a Distribution License Key?
For ImageGear Professional 32 bit/64 bit DLL Development:
Call the IG_lic_solution_name_set, IG_lic_solution_key_set and the IG_lic_OEM_license_key_set functions.
For example:

IG_lic_solution_name_set ("Your Solution Name");
IG_lic_solution_key_set (0x473F47EC, 0xDEDCEDC4, 0xAFFBB23E, 0xFBFBDE4A);
IG_lic_OEM_license_key_set ("1.0.WkFoEmKFJkSdDHJfFDGsTRYdIUfIOsOPeP.");

For ImageGear Professional ActiveX SDK Development:
Call the SetSolutionName, SetSolutionKey and SetOEMLicenseKey methods in the License Class.
For example:

IGCoreCtl1.License.SetSolutionName "Your Solution Name"
IGCoreCtl1.License.SetSolutionKey &H473F47EC, &HDEDCEDC4,&HAFFBB23E, &HFBFBDE4A
IGCoreCtl1.License.SetOEMLicenseKey "1.0.WkFoEmKFJkSdDHJfFDGsTRYdIUfIOsOPePf"

For ImageGear .NET 32 bit/64 bit Development:
Call the SetSolutionName, SetSolutionKey and the SetOEMLicenseKey methods in the ImGearLicense Class. For example:
ImGearLicense.SetSolutionName("Your Solution Name");
ImGearLicense.SetSolutionKey(0x473F47EC, 0xDEDCEDC4, 0xAFFBB23E, 0xFBFBDE4A);
ImGearLicense.SetOEMLicenseKey("1.0.WkFoEmKFJkSdDHJfFDGsTRYdIUfIOsOPePf");

For ImageGear SilverLight Development:
Call the SetSolutionName, SetSolutionKey and the SetOEMLicenseKey methods in the ImGearLicense Class. For example:

ImGearLicense.SetSolutionName("Your Solution Name");
ImGearLicense.SetSolutionKey(0x473F47EC, 0xDEDCEDC4, 0xAFFBB23E, 0xFBFBDE4A);
ImGearLicense.SetOEMLicenseKey("1.0.WkFoEmKFJkSdDHJfFDGsTRYdIUfIOsOPePf");

For ImageGear Pro JAVA SDK Development:
A solution key should be added to a certain source file and the project should then be rebuilt.This source file is License.java, found under \ImageGear v15\MD\Java\Samples\accusoft\Samples\Shared

After adding the key the file content will look like the example below.
////////////////////////////
package accusoft.Samples.Shared;
public class License extends Object
{

Q8: How do I know what files to deploy?
The Deployment Packaging Wizard is used to deploy your application. Please refer to the "Deploying Your Product" section in the appropriate Image Gear help file for a detailed explanation.

Q9: How do I know what version of ImageGear I have installed?
Run one of the samples. Click Help->About. It will display the version that you have installed.

Q10: I pasted the text of the licensing message in the Accusoft License Manager and get the following message: “The manual key you specified is incomplete. Please check it and try again”. Why is this and how can I resolve this issue?
This message occurs because the text being passed into the License Manager has not been formatted correctly. For example, the text has been entered as follows:

1.0.E9iU5qrUlhzRJRs7XOryeczOs9scVSlOf95LIUfLIF62VFDQsSfcIFnh5LeRaQn25252z7Vyic5FzSrvDR67zLnc69

Q11: I am running the License Manager in a version of ImageGear earlier than v17 and am getting an error about the Licensing Service not being found? Why is this and how can I resolve the issue?
The location of the Licensing Service has been moved and you will need to download a particular version of the License Manager from the appropriate link below. Once you download, please run the License Manager as you normally would and this should resolve your issue.

Q12: I am trying to obtain an Evaluation License, but do not have Internet Access and therefore am not able to run the License Manager via the web access. How can I get an Evaluation License?
Please follow the steps listed below to obtain an evaluation license:

1) Run the License Manager located on the Start Menu under Accusoft and choose the ImageGear Evaluation License.

2) Choose Next and enter the username and password that you created at the time you registered the product.

3) Click Next and then on the following screen choose the button labeled, “For web registration click here”. This will bring you to a web page that contains an address at the top of the page.

4) Copy this into a web browser on a system that has web access and then hit enter. A web string will be returned in a dialog on this page. Copy this string of data and go back to the License Manager, click next and paste it into the text area in the dialog. Click Next and the SDK will now be registered.


Q13: I am looking for previous IG installers. Where can I find these earlier installers?
The earlier installers are located at the link listed here:

http://support.accusoft.com/support/UpdateCenter/s_Product_Archive.aspx


Q14: Why do I see a licensing related message when trying to run the samples after installing the SilverLight SDK in evaluation mode?
The issue is likely being caused by the fact that the web server must be configured properly for ImageGear Silverlight to run in evaluation mode.

These steps are outlined in the "Installing and Using IG" Table of Contents section at the link listed below:

http://www.accusoft.com/resourcecenter/documentation/ImageGear-Silverlight/v17/ReleaseNotes/index.htm

If the issues persist please email support@accusoft.com for further assistance.

Q15: How do I set-up and use a config.txt file that was received with my license?

1) Save the config.txt, previously sent from your purchase of server licensing, to the target server in a readily available directory
2) Run the following utility: C:\Program Files\Accusoft\ImageGear version\LDK\Bin\LDK\Bin\SLU.exe
3) When the utility launches, click the Browse button, and browse to the config.txt file saved in step 1
4) Click Auto Register

Your application will now be registered and ready to be used.

Q16: Why do my deployment licenses not work when called from my VB.NET application?

The licensing codes that need to be called:

Key1 = BitConverter.ToUInt32(BitConverter.GetBytes(&HBDA4BFF3), 0)
Key2 = BitConverter.ToUInt32(BitConverter.GetBytes(&HC2DFBBBE), 0)
Key3 = BitConverter.ToUInt32(BitConverter.GetBytes(&H4CC47CFB), 0)
Key4 = BitConverter.ToUInt32(BitConverter.GetBytes(&HA2FE447E), 0)

ImGearLicense.SetSolutionName("License Here")
ImGearLicense.SetSolutionKey(Key1, Key2, Key3, Key4)
ImGearLicense.SetOEMLicenseKey("LicenseStringhere")

Q17: How do I use an LPK file to license my ImageGear controls on a web page using the ActiveX SDK?

1) Create a new text file called AccusoftLicenseBinding.txt and place it in the Bin subfolder where the Core ImageGear ActiveX SDK is installed.

2) Place your deployment licenses received at the time of purchase into the file created in #1.

3) Run the Microsoft License Package (LPK) tool and add the control(s) you are using in your web page. When the LPK tool adds the controls they are activated and capture the license information stored in the text file.

www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=d2728e89-575e-42e9-a6ff-07d0021e68cc&displaylang=en

Please note: It is not necessary to add any of the ImageGear GUI controls to the LPK file you create.

4) Modify your HTML code by creating the following tag and adding it to your code.

<object CLASSID="clsid:5220CB21-C88D-11cf-B347-00AA00A28331">
<param NAME="LPKPath" VALUE="filename.lpk">
</object>

In the above object tag, “filename.lpk” is the name of the file created by the LPK tool.
