I am working on an FTP app with the FTP 2.0 object. When trying to use the AbstactFolder object I am asked for a license key. I have the entire suite but do not see the FileSystem in my component licenser. Where would I find this license key. In reviewing the sample code, I do not see where the license key is specified for the file system object. Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi Andrew,

The LicenseKey property for the Xceed FileSystem can be set in the following manner:

Xceed.FileSystem.Licenser.LicenseKey = "SAMPLE-APPLICATION-KEY";

As a matter of fact, setting the license key on the Xceed.Ftp.Licenser.LicenseKey should normally unlock the Xceed.FileSystem too. You should look for a line like this one:

Xceed.<b>Ftp</b>.Licenser.LicenseKey = "SAMPLE-APPLICATION-KEY";

a) Make sure this line is called at the very beginning of your application, before you access any FileSystem objects.
b) If you are working with a trial package, make sure the license key that appears in the Xceed Component Licenser isn't expired.
c) If you have a registered "FTN" license key, replace "SAMPLE-APPLICATION-KEY" with your registered key.

It does as a matter of fact. As it turns out the issue was not an issue of license keys, rather of order of operations. I have global variable that I was instantiating in the definition. By instantiating it after setting the licensekey property in the Main() function the problem was remedied. Thanks for the quick response, it is appreciated.
