SetProductData returns error 42

Tony.W · August 3, 2021, 11:30pm

I have created a product and downloaded the product data file.

I also have downloaded lexactivator for windows (3.15.0). In my win32 application C++ I make an api call to SetProductData. The function returns error 42.

Can you tell me more about this error and what I might try to resolve it.

Thanks.

Hi Tony,

The error description for the error code is:

github.com

cryptlex/lexactivator-c/blob/master/examples/LexStatusCodes.h#L92


    MESSAGE: Invalid or corrupted product file.
*/
LA_E_PRODUCT_FILE = 41,
/*
    CODE: LA_E_PRODUCT_DATA
    MESSAGE: Invalid product data.
*/
LA_E_PRODUCT_DATA = 42,
/*
    CODE: LA_E_PRODUCT_ID
    MESSAGE: The product id is incorrect.
*/
LA_E_PRODUCT_ID = 43,
/*
    CODE: LA_E_SYSTEM_PERMISSION

Make sure you are passing the content of the Product.dat file to the SetProductData function and not the path of the Product file.

Hello Faizan,

My mistake. I was passing in the name of the .dat file instead of the contents of the file.

Issue resolved.

Thanks.
