This article describes how to resolve a problem when a licence key file is put into the right place but Graphics Mill still cannot read it.

Description

You are using Graphics Mill for ActiveX in an ASP application. According to documentation to remove evaluation restrictions, you should put the license key into an accordingly named file (a .lic file) and place this file into the same folder with Graphics Mill library (GraphicsMill20.dll).

However, sometimes you may find out that your application still suggests you to register your copy of Graphics Mill even if the .lic file is located properly.

Reason

Your application does not have enough permissions to read the .lic file.

Solution

Make sure that the account, on behalf of which your application is executed, has “read” permissions for the .lic file. If you develop ASP application, typically you should configure permissions for the IUSR_<machinename> account.

After updating the file permissions do not forget to restart IIS.
