[oXygen-user] Problem switching from trial key to commercial key in diff files program

[Dan Caprioara]

Hello Paul,

The applications included in the oXygen 7.2 distribution are using 
separate options files so they are "independent" regarding the license 
key. If you enter the trial license key in oXygen and then start the 
Subversion Client for the first time then the license is copied in the 
Subversion Client options. This happens only once. When you update the 
license in Oxygen, it is not propagated to the other applications.

This was fixed in the oXygen version 8.0 (currently under development) 
by keeping a single license file for all the applications.

A workaround for the version 7.2 is to erase all the files that are 
stored in the directory :

Mac OS X: {user home}/Library/Preferences/com.oxygenxml
Unix: {user home}/.com.oxygenxml
Windows: C:\Documents and Settings/{user name}/Application 
Data/com.oxygenxml

Start oXygen, enter the license key again and then start all the other 
applications.

Best regards,
Dan
