problem with license activation in 1.8.1

[stephan]

Hey there,

I have an installed version of 1.8.1 activated with a full license on my machine. Now I'm trying to manipulate some files without the GUI using the stand-alone python lib.
This worked previously with version 1.8.0 on the same machine.

Now since I updated the lib I get "No license found."  Ok, so I tried to activate in a python script by calling

Code: [Select]

Metashape.License.activate('xxxxxxxxxxxxx')

And I get this error:

Code: [Select]

TypeError: descriptor 'activate' for 'Metashape.Metashape.License' objects doesn't apply to a 'str' object
Based on the docs it seems like I should be passing a string:

Code: [Select]

class Metashape.License
License information.
activate(license_key)
Activate software online using a license key.
Parameters key (string) – Activation key.

Any ideas what I am missing here?

Cheers,

Hello stephan

It should be Metashape.License().activate('xxxxxxxxxxxxx')
