This is a legacy app and I'm using VB6 (Ugh!).
After easily adapting your code for VB6, it is working perfectly.
Thank you!!!

Yes - please see the example below. It uses the EasyUAClient object, but it also works the same with EasyDAClient and EasyAEClient, even the number ranges are identical.
// Shows how to obtain the serial number of the active license, and determine whether it is a demo or trial license.
 
using System;
using OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA;
 
namespace UADocExamples._EasyUAClient
{
    class LicenseInfo
    {
        public static void SerialNumber()
        {
            // Instantiate the client object.
            var client = new EasyUAClient();
 
            // Obtain the serial number from the license info.
            long serialNumber = (uint)client.LicenseInfo["Multipurpose.SerialNumber"];
 
            // Display the serial number.
            Console.WriteLine("SerialNumber: {0}", serialNumber);
 
            // Determine whether we are running as demo or trial.
            if ((1111110000 <= serialNumber) && (serialNumber <= 1111119999))
                Console.WriteLine("This is a demo or trial license.");
            else
                Console.WriteLine("This is not a demo or trial license.");
        }
    }
}

After writing this, I have realized that you have posted this under the "... in COM" section. If you are not using .NET, which language or tool are you using? It should be possible to do the same from COM as well.

Best regards

Is there any way to test that the license is valid using code? Or perhaps a way to instruct it not to run as a demo if the license is invalid? I don't want to have to wait 30 minutes for something that the software already knows.

I am fanatical about keeping my software up to the latest version, but sometimes the new version is newer than the license file in my installer project. I just had an issue where I sent a customer a version that timed out and they weren't very happy.

Thank you.
