[PDK-Beta] Graphical debugger
Still having a problem with the license when trying to use debugger..
Clean machine, fully patched XPPro,
Binary build 819 [267479] provided by ActiveState http://www.ActiveState.com
Built Aug 29 2006 12:42:41
Perpetual 6.0.2 PDK license
Attempting to install eval license - popup 'will not override perpetual license'
followed by 'license install failed'.
Have followed 1) and 2) below and the solutions are effective.
Advice?
- Lynn.
