I replicated the problem with this debug version and took some time to inspect the log file it produced. With it, I was able to determine that our code was not calling LicenseApplication for some report scenarios, specifically these were subreport print jobs that were appended into a single PDF. Whe...

Our clients, and one of our testers who can reproduce this problem, have installed version 7.4, build 370. Our applications print GDI (not GDI+) based reports that is built-in functionality in Visual FoxPro 9. These are "frx" graphic layout definition files that are merged with data by the...

Like tonisa mentioned, we were also having problems with some clients receiving the "unlicensed" footer when running Win (x64) operating systems, particularly when it was a non-admin who was logged in. They are using our Visual FoxPro application and were were also calling oPDF.LicenseAppl...

After he deleted the SiriuswareNovaPDF.nvl file and re-ran the application, the COM errors went away, but the novaPDF &...

Thanks. Our client verified the permissions to the Application Data folder (it was a default Windows XP installation which didn't have any permissions altered). He deleted the NVL file and tried to print from our app again. The COM errors no longer appear, however, the "Save As" dialog sti...

Here is a simplified version of what it does... local cActiveProfile, nActiveProfilePublic cActiveProfile = '' nActiveProfilePublic = 0 oPDF = createobject('novapi.NovaPdfOptions') oPDF.Initialize2( my ini...
