A few of you are having problems with the IsEntitled() function returning FALSE, even though you have the proper entitlements, so I want to address this issue.
The process of checking for your account entitlements takes roughly 2-3 seconds after the COM object is instantiated. The Data Manager checks the connection servers on the farm and returns your list of entitlements. Many of you are not waiting for those entitlements to return. The best method is to create a loop such as:
while IsEntitled = FALSE
increase counter or sleep
loop
If you are properly entitled, this WILL return TRUE. Some developers have had to reinstall their IDE to make it work, but that was only one situation that I know of. I believe this is shown in the sample applications, but I am not sure which one.
I hope this clarifies the process.
