LIC Property

PLBCMP GUI Only

The LIC property provides access to the license information of an AUTOMATON or CONTROL object. The property uses the following format:

LIC={value}

Note the following:

1. LIC may be used in CREATE or GETPROP statements only.

2. {value} for a LIC property can be retrieved using the GETPROP statement only after the object has been successfully loaded or created through the OLE Automation Interface. If a control is loaded in a PL/B form, this information is maintained in the form (.PLF) file.

3. The LIC value can also be supplied directly to a CREATE statement if a user has prior knowledge of the required license identification. This means that a user must have successfully installed an OLE Automation/OCX product or the user must know the required license identification to run such a product.

4. {value} may be a string variable or literal for CREATE statements and must be a string variable for GETPROP statements.
