The Excel Add-In for KeyAGS appears to be working in full professional mode but the AGS Checker only runs in free mode

Issue Summary

This can happen when the machine in question is running from a licence file. One approach would be to plug in a dongle which has been enabled for KeyAGS as this will provide an immediate solution. However, as a file based licence has been provided to serve a site licence, allowing multiple machines to be enabled, it clearly is not the best long term solution.

Resolution

There are a number of steps to addressing this problem, some of which require administrator rights.

1. Ensure that you have the original keyags4.gol to hand. This might be from a CD or similar media, as orginally provided by Keynetix, or sent through by one of our support staff (please contact support@keynetix.com for further help if necessary).

2. Browse through to C:\Program Files\Keynetix\KeyAGS4\Licence\ and remove the licence.gol file from that location, assuming one is present.

3. Browse through to C:\Program Files\Keynetix\KeyAGS4\, right click the AGSChecker.exe file and select 'Run as Administrator'. The AGS Checker will now launch in free mode.

4. From the AGS Checker select Help | Licence... and browse through to the file specified in step one above. Note: if the Checker has not been 'Run as Administrator' this process can return an error.

5. Close the Checker and run the KeyAGS Excel Add-In. It may now also require licencing using the file from step one - go to Help | Licence... if so.

Licencing the two components of the AGS Toolkit in this manner should allow them both to run in Professional mode.
