How do I unlock Eyeshot in C# console-app

Question

I’m a student doing a project with the company. As part of this project, I’m developing a console application using eyeshot 2021. I’ve used an activation key before for a WPF project and that application worked fine.

This console-app is created under the same solution but I get the message that I have no license when running BallPivoting.DoWork(). Because this is a console-app I cannot use the class model which requires a Viewport/PresentationFramework. I was therefore wondering how to unlock the application.

I've seen old documentation that says to use UtilityEx.Unlock(), but that does not work for Eyeshot 2021

Thanks for the support!

In Eyeshot version 2022 you can use the devDept.LicenseManager.Unlock method to activate the library.

Use it like this:

devDept.LicenseManager.Unlock(typeof(devDept.Eyeshot.Workspace), "YOURACTIVATIONCODEHERE");
