We all know that the Comet Subscription provides the end-user with the
current versions of the Comet products. But less well known is the fact
that COM-based functions are also Subscription-dependent. I do not have any end-users going against their Comet files with VB or anything like that, but I do make extensive use of the Copyfile mnemonic which is COM
based. So, my questions are:
1) If a subscription is not renewed, what date is used in determining when the COM-based functions stop working? The "Good for Comet Systems
built before...." date or the Date Issued date?
2) What functionality/mnemonics besides Copyfile stop working? Comet
Data Express, Comet Explorer, ODBC drivers?
Thanks in advance, Tom.
