Re licence.key for SDK
[1/11] from: idsrini:g:mail at: 22-May-2008 9:01
Hi,
My name is Srini Iyengar and I am an independent software consultant,
currently in Mumbai, India. I am quite impressed with Rebol and I need to
evaluate Rebol Command/SDK. For this, do I need to buy Command/SDK or is it
possible to get a free licence.key file? I've downloaded the zip file for
Version 2.7.6.
Only after evaluation and developing a small application myself (web-based
and Client-Server based), will I be in a position to recommend Rebol to my
clients in India.
I think Rebol is a very exciting and promising approach, refreshingly
different from the current approaches, to software development and
maintenance. It gives the developer the freedom and space to do what he/she
wants to do, without getting bogged down by 'other factors'.
The VID dialect, though good, misses out on some fundamental widgets that
are taken for granted by the industry like tree-control, grids, etc.
I've been trying to get in touch with your office (by phone) and sent emails
also, without any response for more than 10 days. I would appreciate it, if
someone from your office responds to this email, at least....
Could you also let me know if Rebol 2.7.6 supports tree-controls
(commercial or free) or is there an alternative way of producing the same
functionality in Rebol?
I would also need to test out access to databases (SqlServer, SqlLite) over
the web and client-server also.
Any inputs in this regard would be most welcome.....
Thank you,
Regards,
Srini Iyengar

You need to purchase a license key.
If you don't need SSL, ODBC then the free /Pro versions will allow you
to evaluate.

Hi Graham,
Thanks a lot for the prompt response....
Can I get a licence key for the free /Pro version?
Can I access Sqlite using this version?
Also, Graham, are you aware of any tree control/widget for Rebol ?
Regards,
Srini

You don't need a license key now for the /Pro version.

There is a library for sqlite available http://www.dobeash.com/sqlite.html

Welcome Srini,
Graham answered your licensing question, so I'll just add that REBOL's
marketing doesn't do the technology justice. The community is great,
and some people here are able to get in touch with the company people
more directly if you're still unable to get what you need for
evaluation purposes.
It's also known that VID lacks a lot of standard controls. That's the
price of keeping things small. If you need a grid control, check out
Henrik's list-view and other styles.

Happy REBOLing!

I just downloaded the 2.7.6 zip file and extracted it. I double clicked on
the file "rebpro.exe" and it gave the following message

Hi Gregg,
I think Rebol is a brilliant product...The marketing has a lot of scope for
improvement though...I am completely in sync with the approach that keeping
things small and tight is the way to go...especially now that gadgets,
mobiles and pdas are getting more and more powerful and accessible....
Ultimately, for professional software development, there need to be
mechanisms to access the elegance and capabilities of the underlying
technology and this is where the UI comes into play. For instance, I cannot
go and tell my clients to adopt REBOl, because I myself have not been able
to develop a small application (web and client-server based) for demo
purposes. Once I have something under my belt, then I can demo it to clients
and at least tell them that there are alternatives to the gigantic systems
that they are compelled to use.
I have nothing against any software vendor, but at least allow me the
opportunity to explore other avenues for software development...
Also for small organisations, there is really no need to develop gigantic
systems with attendant problems....
And dialecting...Its such an important aspect of any programming
language....And Rebol enables you to do it so easily....With Rebol the
possibilities are endless, and suddenly the computer becomes your
canvas....to freedom...to creativity...to express yourself....
Now that I know how to get in touch with you guys, would it be ok to ask
queries and raise suggestions thru this mechanism....
Regards,
Srini

Please do! This mailing list is very quiet these days. A lot of REBOL
people use AltMe and IOS for communication, so a lot of talk moved
away from the more public forums. Fortunately, thanks to Sunanda,
Peter, Graham, and others, REBOL.org has a very complete history of
the ML.
If you want an AltMe account on the main REBOL world, I can set one up
for you.

Hi Gregg,
Could you please set me up with an ALTME account on the main REBOL
world...That would be great....
Also, I'm facing a problem with the free /Pro version. I downloaded the sdk
zip file, and ran the file "rebpro.exe" and it asked for a licence key.

Or do I have to buy the /Pro version and it is no longer free.
If it is free, could you please direct me to the appropriate download
page....
Thanks once again....

Thanks Mario,
It worked..... The version is the "REBOL/View 2.7.6.3.1 14-Mar-2008" one....
The link is .http://www.rebol.com/view-platforms.html
and the download is under "REBOL View 2.7.6:".....
I could manage to create a table in Sqlite using the Sqlite driver from
http://www.dobeash.com/SQLite/ ....
Thanks once again folks....Gregg and Graham and Ashley......
