Any idea why this doesn't work in 2005??

(vl-load-com)
(prompt (vlax-product-key))

If I type this at the command line, I get nothing. Nada. Zip.
Is there something new with VLisp and 2005??

Thanks in advance!

 

Works for me:
Command: (PROMPT (VLAX-PRODUCT-KEY))
Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R16.1\ACAD-304:409nil

 

That's the response I thought I was going to get. DANG!

Okay, so now it works.
Do I have to try it 5 times before it will work??

You gotta love computers.

Try:
(vl-load-com)
(prompt (strcat (vlax-product-key) "\n"))

I read somewhere in Help that the 'echo' gets lost, but can
be seen with a "\n" at the 'end' of the statements that echo stuff to the screen.

Thanks, Bob!
