Hi
  I have an older version of the license for chart director , and have a couple of questions:

I am using Visual c++ V6.0 and have 1 programming license and wish to stay as this.

1. Is there a cost for upgrading? If so what is it?
2. How do I find what version I am running?
3. Will the latest version still run on visual c++ V6?

Thanks
Scott

Hi Scott,

1. Is there a cost for upgrading? If so what is it?

The upgrading cost depends on the version and type of your current ChartDirector. See:

2. How do I find what version I am running?

In ChartDirector for C++, the DLL is like "chartdir50.dll", in which the two digits (50) are the major and minor version number.

Note that the version of ChartDirector you are using may be different from the version of your license. It is because all ChartDirector license includes upgrade by one major version. So a version 4 license can also work with ChartDirector version 5. The version of the license is the version of ChartDirector when the license was purchased.

If you are not sure what is your license version, you may email the license key to me at pkwan@advsofteng.net for verification. Another method is to try ChartDirector version 6 and see if it the license works. If it does not work, you can use the diagnostic method below to determine the cause, which would print out your license version if this is the cause of the problem.

3. Will the latest version still run on visual c++ V6?

There are many development tools for C++ (various versions of Visual Studio, Borland C++, gcc, Qt, Eclipse, etc). Currently, we only provide projects files for VS 2005 or above and for Qt 4.0 or above. For other development tools, the developers would you need to create the project files themselves.

We have not actually tested ChartDirector with VC++ 6.0, as this tool is quite old nowadays (it was released in the last century). ChartDirector for C++ is designed to be neutral, which means it does not depend on any particular development tool. So in theory, it should work with VC++ 6, just like it can work with the other development tools in the list above.

I have just tried to use VC++ 6 to compile and run one of the sample program, and it works correctly.

Hope this can help.
