  If the project already contains a “.gclicx” file and it is write protected (this happens for us as our source control is “Team Foundation Manager”, where are files are write protected if not checked out), then the license manager hangs when calling “Generate”.

  Here is a screenshot of this feature, the red arrow marks the “wait” animation that hangs forever:

  Hi Wolfgang,

  The developers have fixed this issue in 2023v3 release. We request you wait for the 2023v3 installer to be publicly available in order to achieve the desired behavior.

  The ETA for the release is the end of December 2023.

  Thanks & Regards,

  I can confirm that you made changes: if the GCLICX file is write protected, now an error icon with detailed message is shown for the failing project.

  But there is something else that I want to complain about: if the “csproj” file is write protected (this happens if it is checked in to Team Foundation Server), you cannot even select/check the project in license manager, the checkbox seems to be disabled. The reason why it is not selectable is not obvious. It would be better if I could select the project, and an error is reported when generating the license.
  
  Could you improve this?

  Best regards

  Wolfgang

  I think we can close this issue, as the new “sa3licx” licensing removed the Visual Studio ui to create a runtime license.

  Hello Wolfgang,

  This issue has been fixed. Please install the latest version of ComponentOnecontrolPanel and fresh install C1WinForms suite to get the fix:

  1. Go to the Windows Control Panel and uninstall ComponentOneControlPanel
  2. Download the latest version of the installer - Download ComponentOne
  3. Run the installer as administrator and let it download the latest configuration files (loader at the bottom-right corner).
  4. You will be prompted at the bottom to “restart the application”. Simply close the installer and relaunch the .exe as administrator
  5. Install the latest version of the WinForms Edition controls

  Could you please check and confirm the same?

  Regards,
  
  Uttkarsh.

  Hi,

  I found the “Create runtime license” feature (“Tools” => “MESCIUS” => “License manager”, then click “Create runtime license”).

  But can I can still reproduce the issue after having reinstalled C1: if project files are write protected, I cannot check them, and there is no information about the reason.
  
  The version of the license generator is displayed in the lower left edge of the screen.

  And a new question: after checking out a project and clicking “Generate”, the license manager opens, but I cannot select a license. I would expect it to generate a license. Or did I miss a button ;-)?

  [UPDATE] We can continue the second question in my existing support ticket https://www.mescius.eu/en/my-account/my-support/case/1ac6e86a-4512-f111-8342-7ced8da9f696 don’t know whether it s related to my license. This thread is only about a better message for read only project files.

  Best regards

  Wolfgang
