System time is wrong, unable to check the trial license key. ---> sdblv.frzrs:...

Question

Trying to evaluate if I can make Rebex.Http.dll to work on Wince 5.0 and PC.

Downloading the trial license on Feb 2, 2024, I followed the example to write a small test program with 3 dll files in Rebex Components 7.0.8755\bin\net-3.5. The test program could work on PC with message: "Result: Hello World from test.rebex.net. Server time is 2024-02-11 06:54:32."

Running the same test program with 3 dll files from "Rebex Components Legacy CF R5.14\bin\netcf-3.5" on Wince 5.0 dev Set-Top-Box, I got the following exception.

The test problem uses the same trial license key. The WinCE 5.0 Set-Top-Box shows the correct local time.

Do I need to get a special trial license for "Rebex Components Legacy CF R5.14"?

Thanks,

Weiwan

Answer 1

This error is indeed supposed to indicate that the system time is in the past, but perhaps something went wrong. Does the error occur with the following key as well?

Rebex.Licensing.Key = "==AS28oen2DeLhfGycGFobVvJTzgLkyj1jnDtpTzyDP/90==";

Hi, Lukas:

Thanks for your quick response. I found the race condition on Wince device which sync the time late. After fixing the bug, the license problem went away.
