Troubleshooting/solution

The VB6 AI Migrator Developer Edition employs two different type of files:

License file: this file is called VB6 AI Migrator.lic, this file contains the definitions of the current license installed in the machine. This file is provided via email after the trial download or when the product license is purchased. This file must be allocated into the root of the installation folder in order to operate correctly.

Activation file: this file normally named “SLP_.bin” where “” is the activation key provided on the email after the trial download or when the product license is purchased. This file is used when performing an offline activation and needs to be requested previously.

For more information on the *.bin activation file and how to perform an offline activation read the complete activation process definition.
