ABCPDF Professional License

I am using ABCPDF 'PROFESSIONAL' on my website.

The problem is discountASP already provides ABCPDF 'Standard'.

The way ABCPDF differentiates between professional and standard is by the license string provided.

The way you provide the license string is by making a call into ABCPDF and setting the license.

The trouble is you can't override the license if its already been set. As DiscountASP has already loaded ABCPDF with a standard license I can't seem to find a way to override the license.

I have ben trying to somehow override the assembly in the GAC, with my own DLL's but I can't seem to get this right.

I am using code like this in my web.config file:

<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1'>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name='ABCpdf' culture='neutral' publicKeyToken='A7A0B3F5184F2169'/>
<codeBase version='5.0.0.8' href='FILE:bin/ABCpdf.dll'/>
</dependentAssembly>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name='ABCpdfCE5' culture='neutral' publicKeyToken='A7A0B3F5184F2169'/>
<codeBase version='5.0.0.8' href='FILE:bin/ABCpdfCE5.dll'/>
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>

But I can't get it to work. Either it has no effect or I get an assembly error saying it can't find the component.

Anybody know how to do this?

I believe you can use the <remove> element inside your web.config for the <assemblies> section. here's a URL with more info about it...
