"Evalutation period has expired" when testing PDF-
Having used PDF-Converter 2.10 in our application we want to upgrade now for being VISTA ready. For testing I downloaded the "Evaluation Version Developer Pro 3.0".
After installing (on Windowx XP) and starting our application I get a window saying "Your 30-Day evalution period has expired - Visit Amyuni.com to purchase today".
After that message I could make one testprint. The expiration window cannot be closed and has to be killed with taskmanager! All further starts of the application produce the same window with no possibility to print.
Before buying we would like to test version 3.0 (did that already with version 2.51, worked great with XP but had problems with Vista).
Any ideas what's going wrong?

Hello,
I tried the evaluation myself, i noticed that the message 'Evaluation Period has expired' is fired in two cases:
1 - If the evaluation date effectively expired: i.e after 30 days from your installation
2 - If PDF files are post processed: i.e if you try to open a pdf file and encrypt it or linearize it by example.
Case 1 is normal, case 2 may not be normal, i am checking it with our developers.
If you receiving this message in other situations than the mentioned above please let us me know.

Case 1: Doesn't apply to me because I received the message first time immediately after installing the printer.
Case 2: After producing the file I'm sometimes mailing it (not with amyuni functionality) inside the application but I get the message immediately after DriverInit and EnablePrinter long time before having even printed one page. So case 2 also shouldn't apply.

Hello,
I have downloaded the last available build yesterday, installed the testversion and I don't get the message "Your 30-Day evalution period has expired - Visit Amyuni.com to purchase today" anymore. That's fine!
BUT, now I get "Printer not activated, error code -20"!!!
Before installing the new version I have uninstalled all old printers belonging to amyuni, removed all files belonging to amyuni from the disk, have cleaned the registry and also checked the licencekey.
EnablePrinter() seems to be fine (returncode = 1). Error occurs when calling StartDoc() immediately after EnablePrinter.
Any hints, what could be wrong now? Is the generated licencekey in install.ini ok? It is the same I had when dowloading the previous build?

Hello,
I have now checked everything as you requested and the license-information I use is the same as in Install.ini.
I have also checked the entries in the registriy and found the following:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers\"Printername"
+ DsDriver
++ ...
+ DsSpooler
++ ...
+ PrinterDriverData
++ Code -> with the correct code
++ License -> with the correct licenseinfo
These settings I have twice, with different "printername" as we need two PDF-Printers with different names.
I still get error code -20.

Hello,
I did all the tests with admin privileges!
Further tests (on 2 different win-xp-pc's) have shown more strange details:
+ deinstalled all amyuni-drivers
+ deleted all related files in windows\system32 and subdirs
+ installed version 2.10c (two printers with different names)
+ everything works fine
+ deleted both printers wiht printer - delete (as some users probably would do)
+ no files in windows\systsem32 and subdirs have been deleted now!!
+ installed version 3.0 (two printers with different names)
+ now if get errorcode -30 (timeout) instead of -20 as before!?
