Problem loading an amzi! prolog xpl file from a vba program
Problem loading an amzi! prolog xpl file from a vba program I have a program that used an xpl compiled from an old version fo Amzi! prolog. Any use of that prolog or of the xpl says that the activation had been made too long ago and that I should reactivate that prolog. That prolog is installed on a PC whose network card doesn't work, so I cannot reactivate that prolog because of that. A technician intalled other partitions of win10 to which i cannot move the old prolog.
So I download the latest version of Amzi prolog to another pc with win11. I rebuilt the xpl file with the new prolog. when I run my program, the call to load the amzi.dll works (at last!), but when the program tries to load the xpl file i get a -1 error code. The absolute path of the xpl file mentioned in the program is identical to the one of the xpl file. Any solution? I must settle that rapidly
Sorry about the simplicity of this question, but alis loads the xpl correctly? If so, can you show the code that loads the xpl file. I have some experience doing this with c++ on windows and ios but not vba.
Not too sure I can help, but the module arun is a small module that simply loads an .xpl. But there is a clever trick in it. It first tries to load an .xpl file of its same name.
So, if you rename arun to afoo it will try to automatically load afoo.xpl. alis, then, is just a renamed copy of arun that tries to load alis.xpl. acmp is the same, a copy of arun rename to acmp so it loads acmp.xpl.

I can’t help too much, but the answer might lie somewhere in linkrun or how arun gets built. Although maybe it’s in the loading code of the VBA interface.
Maybe someone else knows better?

Here are: -the build parameters -the amzi.dll location (a copy of the prolog 11 dll) -the xpl location -my progam's location (MAC...) -The Amzi.bas VB logic server api (dated 2000) -The Amzi initialization code and the value of the variables -The result
Dennis, I am so glad you answered me. Maybe you can help me short term. Is there a way I can reactivate my old license without a network connection? That would help me use my old prolog on my old win10 computer and that would solve my urgent problem for the moment. And the I could take more time to solve the problem with Prolog 11 on my new win11 pc.
You might not be so glad…I wish we’d never put that license activation logic in the code, and it had since been removed. I don’t know…. wait, maybe there is a way!
Tell it your user name is “Dennis Merritt” I had it set to skip the licensing software when I was working with it.
Other than that, it’s back to the new software and I’m sorry to say I’m far removed from the code these days. I hope some of the other users more familiar might be able to help you.

Thanks Dennis. I tried your ytick, but it says it cannot connect to the server...
Sigh, well see if there’s someway you can restart on that old machine and say you’re me. Other than that...

I now have amzi prolog 9.4.4 in a win10 partition that has access to the web! However, when I click on Activate License, nothig happens... Any help to succeed in reactivating my licence?
It might not be active on the Web site anymore… yikes.
All that licensing was removed for the open source versions, 10.x and above.
My best plan is to convince it your name is Dennis Merritt, spelt like that. I’m not sure where you set your user name…

What happens if, after you tried activate and nothing happened, you just try to use the software? Does it complain? Maybe it will just work… ?

I created a win10 account with your name, and that didn’t change the result. After it did nothing, I reopened prolog and got the same message. I will try ussing my program to see if it works...
It has to be the Amzi user name that’s mine. The license checking code first looks to see if it’s me or not. But I don’t honestly remember where you give Amzi your name.

I don’t really remember, but isn’t there a file somewhere that has your user name in it? And other parameters? Like whether or it’s an enterprise version or whatever?
amzi.init or amzi.cfg or something like that? I think that’s the file that it picks up the user name from, which should be me. Search around in your directories for such a file...

It was in product.cfg. I changed it and I don’t get the error message. Thanks a lot Dennis

Fantastic! Glad it’s working. Best of luck from here, I’ve been retired for a number of years now and my head is rapidly disconnecting from the software.

Now that I can load my xpl file on my old win10 pc, i need to solve the same problem on my win11 pc sinc I cannot stay with win10 for very long. Please help me get everything right with AmziProlog11 on my win11 pc too
I was grasping at straws on that last one. I really am retired and haven’t actually used or played with the software for a number of years. But if I remember anything useful...
