Error "Catastrophic Failure" During Licensing

Error "Catastrophic Failure" During Licensing

On specific systems (e.g. W2012R2, IIS8.5) you may encounter an error if you apply the license key immediately after creating an instance of the bar code object. This occurs because the underlying (native) TBarCode DLL has not been initialized at this point - possibly due to delayed loading of dependency DLLs or another timing issue.

As a workaround try to set any property before applying the license - see below:

TECIT.TBarCode.Barcode oBC = new TECIT.TBarCode.Barcode();
oBC.BarcodeType = TECIT.TBarCode.BarcodeType.Code128; // set a property of the object
oBC.License("Licensee", TECIT.TBarCode.LicenseType.DeveloperOrWeb, 1, "Key", TECIT.TBarCode.TBarCodeProduct.Barcode2D);
