Hi
 
When deploying my assemblies to the GAC, and referencing them from the web.config I get this error message (from the windows event log):
 
...The exception message is: Cannot find a valid license key in any domain model assembly.

. ---> IdeaBlade.Core.IdeaBladeException: Cannot find a valid license key in any domain model assembly.

I had no issues with this when running the 5.x version of Devforce.
 
Hope you can help
 
Rasmus

Hi rasmus,

The DevForce assemblies should be deployed into the bin folder of IIS instead of the GAC (and they should be removed from the GAC to avoid assembly binding confusion).  Try that and it should solve the problem.

Hi
 
Thank you for your reply.
 
For my setup that is a very bad solution. I have a 100 sites running og the same server, using the same Devforce assemblies, and the same application assemblies. The setup with the GAC works very well, since I only have to update new assemblies at one location. I understand that this is not your recommandation, but the installation guide mentions the GAC as a way to do it - still it does not work.
 
Hope you can help

Understood.  I talked with one of our architects and we got this working with a sample application with both DevForce and the application assemblies deployed to the GAC.

After deploying the assemblies to the GAC, these are the changes we made to the web.config (some of which you may have done already):
1)  Specify any application assemblies in the <probeAssemblynames> element.  You should use the fully qualified assembly name.
2)  Specify the application and DevForce assemblies in the <assemblies> element under <system.web>.  Again these should be fully qualified assembly names. 


For reference, this is the Web.config that we used:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <section name="ideablade.configuration" type="IdeaBlade.Core.Configuration.IdeaBladeSection, IdeaBlade.Core" />
