Compiling and Linking
// Simple C++ Example to Unlock Chilkat
// (Applications must unlock at the start each time they run.)
#include <iostream>
#include "include/CkGlobal.h"
bool unlockChilkat() {
CkGlobal glob;
bool success = glob.UnlockBundle("Anything for 30-day trial");
if (success != true) {
std::cout << glob.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
return false;
}
int status = glob.get_UnlockStatus();
if (status == 2) {
std::cout << "Unlocked using purchased unlock code." << "\r\n";
}
else {
std::cout << "Unlocked in trial mode." << "\r\n";
}
return true;
}
