License error

Wed Aug 07, 2019 1:42 pm

Hi,

Using Advanced installer build extension for Azure pipeline yield error -
"This type of project requires an enterprise license. You may use it for evaluation purposes ONLY. Advanced Installer has a trial period of 30 days. After the trial expires, licensed projects can still be created, but they cannot be built to generate an installation package. Days left in your trial period: 0."

even though there is a license and I don't get this error using the advanced installer editor.

Thanks,
Shlomi

Hello Shlomi,

This may happen if you did not specify your Advanced Installer license key to be used in the "License Key" field of your Advanced Installer build task of your Azure DevOps pipeline.

Could you please double check this?

All the best,
Daniel

Hello,

I'm getting the same error but with the license key specified.

This type of project requires an enterprise license. You may use it for evaluation purposes ONLY. Advanced Installer has a trial period of 30 days. After the trial expires, licensed projects can still be created, but they cannot be built to generate an installation package. Days left in your trial period: 0.
##[error]Failed to execute Advanced Installer task. Error: SetOutputLocation -path "D:\a\1\a\Setup File" -buildname "DefaultBuild"

The task:
- task: AdvancedInstaller@2
inputs:
advinstLicense: '$(AILicense)'
aipPath: 'Installer.aip'
aipBuild: 'DefaultBuild'
aipOutputFolder: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)\Setup File'

Thanks,
Ionut

Hello Ionut,

Could you please make sure that your project is not of "Enterprise" type?

You can do so by opening your project --> "Home" tab --> "Options":

Hello Catalin,

The project is of type "Enterprise" but the license is also an Enterprise license.
You can't use an enterprise type project with Azure DevOps?

Thank you.

Hello Ionut,

Please accept my apologies for the delayed reply.

Azure DevOps should work just fine with the Enterprise project. Could you please make sure that there is no typo in the License Key you have provided?

Also, if you used the copy-paste mechanism, could you please make sure that there is no empty character at either the beginning or the end of the string?

Hello Catalin,

Thank you for your reply.
There is no issue with the license. The only thing that might influence this is the maintenance which is expired.
Is this possible?
Also, is it possible that there might be another error but this one is displayed?

Thank you.

Hello Ionut,

This indeed could be a problem if you did not mention the Advanced Installer version covered by your Maintenance Plan:

Hope this helps!
