New version upgrades are free while maintenance is active.

You are using a newer version of the Chilkat library than your license key supports. Check the release date of the DLL/library against your purchase history.

“Yes. Barely.”

Developer licenses allow unlimited servers . If you receive a "too many machines" error, you likely have a Server License (tied to one machine name). Upgrade to a Developer License for unlimited deployment.

If you are working with the COM ActiveX implementation in VBA (Excel/Access) or legacy VB6:

import chilkat glob = chilkat.CkGlobal() # Pass your license key string as the argument success = glob.UnlockBundle("Anything_From_Chilkat") if success != True: print(glob.lastErrorText()) exit() print("Chilkat Bundle Unlocked Successfully.") Use code with caution.

One of the strongest features of a Chilkat license is its incredible flexibility and the freedom it provides for distribution.

To register your Chilkat license, you call the UnlockComponent method on your main object or use the global licensing class ( CkGlobal ). The method returns a boolean value ( true if successful, false if failed).
