Update for our .NET User Group Meeting

In February, we held our .NET Interface User Group meeting.

The meeting brought together participants for a dynamic and productive discussion.

While some were unable to join, they continued to engage with the group afterward and contributed to the ongoing conversation.

At the meeting, and in follow-up discussions with the group, we outlined our plans for the PxPlus 2026 .NET Interface enhancements and showcased several upcoming features.

The response was overwhelmingly positive, with participants expressing enthusiasm about the direction we’re taking. Key highlights included:

  • New PxPlus extended methods to get/set array values by index
  • New PvxException$ external property to return.NET exception error information
  • New ability to get all available objects from a .Net DLL and a look up button in Nomads external control definition screen

It was a great meeting and we would like to thank everyone who participated.

We are excited to share the results when we get back together.

VS Code User Group Update

During our January user group meeting, participants shared several valuable suggestions for further enhancements.

Based on the feedback, we have implemented several of those enhancements including:

  • Auto line numbering
  • Ability to compare binary/tokenized PxPlus programs
  • Autocomplete with basic descriptions of directives, system parameters, system variables, system function, and mnemonics

We are looking forward to reconnecting to review the new functionality.

Support Tickets for Temporary License Activations

Temporary License Activations

Users occasionally need to activate a serial number on a server for short-term testing purposes without committing to a permanent activation.
 
Recommended Process

To ensure a successful temporary setup and avoid validation errors, you must enter your activation keys in the following sequence:

  1. Activation Key
  2. PxPlus Activation Key
  3. Supplemental Add-on Keys (any additional keys tied to the license)

Pro Tip: Entering the complete set of keys is crucial. Skipping add-on keys often leads to feature specific errors or license validation failures.

Online Activation

If your server has internet access, using Online Activation is the most reliable method. The system will automatically pull the necessary license data from the server, minimizing manual entry errors and ensuring all features are synchronized correctly.
