FAQS
Q1. I get "Class not registered" message. What does it mean?
A1. The component is not registered. To fix this problem you have to locate the optimalprogramsX.dll.dll and then run the command "regsvr32 optimalprogramsX.dll" from the Windows Start|Run menu.
Q2. I need some modifications to the component in order to use it within my application. Can you make these modifications for me?
A2. Yes, probably we can. Please contact us to discuss details.
Q3. How many licenses I need for deploying the component to my clients?
A3. First of all you need one license for the computer where you develop your application. Then you need licenses for each computer where you want to deploy your application. Each time you want to sell your application to a new client you have to contact us in order to provide a new Serial Number for the computer where you want to perform the registration.
Q4. Can I deploy the my application to my clients without asking for a Serial Number each time from Optimal Programs?
A4. Yes, you can. You may buy a special version of the component which can be deployed with your application without any additional costs. Check the Fees page.
Q5. How can I deal with real-valued length for the pieces to cut?
A5. You have to transform all lengths into integer values, by multiplying them with some powers of 10. For instance if you have two pieces to cut having the lengths: 9.2 and 11.37 you will have to multiply them with 100 in order to obtain integer values (920 and 1137).
Q6. How can I optimize multiple types of materials ?
A6. Just optimize them one by one. When you finish with one type move to the other and so on.
Q7. I need the source code for the components. How can I get them ?
A7. We DO NOT SELL the source code for the components.
Q8. How do I find if 2 or more layouts are identical ?
A8. Simply compare pairs of layouts to see which are identical (have the same size and contain the same pieces - which have the same positions). In some cases the cuts can be different, but it is enough if you compare only the position of pieces.
