Product Availability

Description

Opens a modal dialog specifying the current availability of the specified product and extension licenses.  Use the ShowStatusDialog method when license initialization fails, to give information to the user on the nature of the failure, before programmatically shutting down the application. Alternatively, use the Status, Summary and LicenseAvailability members to create your own dialog.

esriLicenseStatusRequested returns the availability of those product and extension licenses checked in the LicenseControl property pages. Use this option when license initialization fails, to give information to the user on the nature of the failure, before programmatically shutting down the application.

esriLicenseStatusAll returns the availability of all product and extension licenses. Use this option when debugging.

By default the modal dialog will have a window title of "License Status" and a heading of "Requested License Status".

Errors Returned

1029 800a0405: Version incompatibility when loading from a stream, the stream version is ahead of the current software version

Remarks

The default behaviour of the LicenseControl is to allow the developer to programmatically check for and shutdown an application when license initialization fails. To override this behaviour so the LicenseControl automatically shuts down an application when license initialization fails, check the "Shutdown this application if the selected licenses are not available" check box in the property pages of the LicenseControl.
