Hi Carlos,

Please make sure you have installed ChartDirector as according to the Installation section of the ChartDirector documentation. In brief, for PHP 5.3.x, you would need to:

(a) Copy *everything* from "ChartDirector/lib" (including all files) to your PHP extension directory, which is "C:\\xampp\\php\\ext".

(b) Add the following line in your active PHP configuration file "php.ini". If you are not where is your active "php.ini", please use "phpinfo" to find out.

extension=phpchartdir530.dll

(c) If you are using Apache, you need to restart it for the updated "php.ini" to take effect.

Hope this can help.

Regards
Peter Kwan

Hi carlos,

There message is normal and is not an error. It means ChartDirector cannot detect any license key, so it will run in evaluation mode (the charts will contain small yellow bars at the bottom). From the message, it seems everything is working fine.
