In the recent versions of LexFloatClient, calling HasFloatingLicense before calling RequestFloatingLicense now returns LF_FAIL instead of LF_E_NO_LICENSE like it used to. The first version that switched to E_FAIL that I could test was 4.9.0; 4.8.0 still returned LF_E_NO_LICENSE. I don’t know how 4.8.1 behaves.
In my case I want to call HasFloatingLicense before RequestFloatingLicense due to the architecture of the application. I’m developing a suite of plugins, all running under the same host application, so if all plugins would just call RequestFloatingLicense they would collectively claim more than one seat from the floating server. Calling HasFloatingLicense beforehand enables me to see if another plugin in the same process has already done the heavy lifting for me, right?
If this is indeed a bug, it would be very nice if it was fixed Soon… I’m also in the process of enabling ARM64 support for plugins, since the host app will soon release their ARM64 version too. And only the latest (and still misbehaving) version 4.10.0 of LexFloatClient supports ARM64.
Thanks in advance!
