Don't launch web browser on license errors

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   This is closely related to my issues with ContainerNotFound from license server but I think it makes a valid point in general.

I find it incredibly annoying that the tool will launch a browser and load the PCB Library website if it fails to get a license on launch or if I click the wrong button (FP Designer, Library Editor) . At best there should be a link in the error message or just let the user use the help button. I would also like to see the buttons greyed out or otherwise disabled when the feature is not available.
Sorry for the bit of a rant, having a rough day with licensing errors....

	If the license cannot be found, the Library Expert Pro functions as a Viewer. The viewer shows details about features that are not licensed, whether it is a browser or a window that is built into the program, a message would have to come up saying the feature(s) cannot run as a license cannot be used. Please feel free to call me if you need assistance. 847-557-2300 Nick
