I have been unsuccessful at getting past sp_OACreate under SqlServer 2012. The same sproc works on a SqlServer 2008 box.
EXEC @hr = sp_OACreate 'Chilkat.Crypt2', @crypt OUT results in -2147221005 for @hr.
Callig get error: EXEC @HR = sp_OAGetErrorInfo @crypt, @Source OUT, @Description OUT;
results in @Description being "Invalid class string".
I have checked the registry, the clsids are there. I even edited permission on crypt2 and crypt2.1 adding full control to everyone. I also verified the DLL's folder has everyone read/exec permissions.
I am at a loss here.
See the online reference documentation for the correct strings to pass to sp_OACreate. See http://www.chilkatsoft.com/refdoc/xChilkatCrypt2Ref.html
Identify the device’s using commands like show license udi . Visit the Cisco License Registration Portal . Enter the PAK and UDI to generate a .lic file. Manually upload that file to the device.
A refers to tools and processes used to create, manage, and activate software entitlements for Cisco networking equipment. Historically, this involved manual tools to generate license files based on Product Activation Keys (PAKs). Cisco License Generator
: These licenses were "node-locked," meaning they were tied permanently to a single piece of hardware and could not be easily moved. 2. Modern Smart License Generation (Current) Identify the device’s using commands like show license udi
Today, Cisco has moved away from static generators toward a cloud-native model called . This modern system uses a centralized platform, Cisco Software Central , where administrators generate "tokens" to register devices rather than individual files. The Evolution of Cisco License Generation Manually upload that file to the device
In the older model, users received a after purchase. To generate the license, they had to:
Most modern Cisco gear (such as Catalyst 9000 switches and ISR/ASR routers) now uses . Instead of a "generator" that creates a file, you use the Cisco Smart Software Manager (CSSM) to generate a Registration Token . How can I create a token from my Smart Account? - Cisco
Understanding "Cisco License Generators" requires distinguishing between legacy manual processes and the modern automated cloud ecosystem. 1. Traditional PAK-Based Generation (Legacy)
It is so that a future version of the ActiveX can co-exist with older versions. You've heard of DLL hell, right? The current naming of "Chilkat_9_5_0." has not changed for several YEARS. Eventually, Chilkat will do a major update to rid itself of all deprecated methods and make long-needed changes which break backward compatibility. When doing so, the name will change -- this will make it so that new programs can use the new version WITHOUT breaking existing older applications.
What about 9.4.x? Did it use the Chilkat.Crypt2 naming? If so, is there a download for it?
