Hello,
we made a different decision. The issue should be fixed in the current version, 2020.3.

Please download the latest build (full installer from our Web site, or NuGet packages from www.nuget.org ). It should be 5.59.1055.0 or later. Rebuild with it, and retest.

Best regards

Much appreciated on the quick response. It is quite urgent and a blocker for us as we came across this when trying to onboard a new client of ours.

A prerelease will work for us and can you publish the fix via nuget? Will we need to have a new license file generated for us as well with the change in how the license file is validated?

Hello. That's interesting - good to know. Thank you for reporting it. No, you cannot get around it on your side yet.

We will fix that in the incoming version (2021.1). Release date is not yet set, but it will probably be March-May 2021. Let me know how urgent it is for you. If you cannot wait that long, would you be willing to work with a prerelease of version 2021.1 ? (with that we can address it in a matter of weeks, possibly just days).

Best regards

QuickOPC version: 5.59.492

Our application is living on a host with FIPS mode enabled. On startup, the following error is received related to the attempt by the QuickOPC lib to use the MD5 hash algorithm to validate the QuickOPC license:
System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.Implementation.LicensingEasyDAClient' threw an exception. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms.

Any options available on my end to fix this?
