We are upgrading all our references for Devforce from 2010 to 2012 and for Cocktail from 1.0.0 to 2.4.3. Also we do have a valid license key for devforce 2010.

For this, I installed Ideablade.Devforce.Core 7.2.2 and Ideablade.Devforce.Server 7.2.2 through Nuget package manager and used the dlls(updated ones) by putting them in a common solution folder.

So,now all my references are updated to 7.2.2. But since ihad to move to VS 2012 my edmx.tt file had to be regenerated by saving the edmx file once again....When I do so...i get following error:

Running transformation: IdeaBlade.Core.IdeaBladeLicenseException: This is an 'Express' version of IdeaBlade DevForce and is limited

to building domain models with no more than 10 entity types.

Why is this so..??

What should i do to upgrade to the full version of 2012 instead of the Express edition?

When you installed the DevForce.Core package it should have popped up the DevForce setup.exe and prompted you for a license key. You can check the license or enter a new one using the ProductKeyUpdater installed to the ProgramFiles\DevForce 2012\Tools folder. To double check if your license is still good contact either sales or support directly, since we'll need company and contact information.
