VendorLicense

[CriticalTrader]

Is there a way to test if the 3rd party license check was valid?
Would be nice to have an IsValidLicense global available.
Same question applies to NT7 version.

Hello CriticalTrader,

Thank you for your post.

There would not be a specific property or function to call to see if the Vendor Licensing was successful. In general, the very fact the NinjaScript object is now running should suffice as verification.

What are you looking to do when the verification is successful that would not be performed by the methods and functions provided for NinjaScript?

Thanks for your reply Patrick.
There are various actions (e.g., custom logging) I would like to do if the verification is not successful.
Seems to me that not having an IsValidLicense global available is unnecessarily restrictive and something which should be rather easy provision.

Hello CriticalTrader,

VendorLicense() is a method with a void for return type, so no return type. I will forward your suggestion to development.

Thanks Patrick.
I've understood for a long time that VendorLicense() is a method with a void return type, but since this method determines if a license is valid (or not) and must already set a hidden variable to that effect, I suspect that setting an IsValidLicense global variable should not be too difficult or delay the next update.
Please let us know what the development group says.
