detect Gen license in Max/MSP #7

Closed charlieroberts closed 6 years ago

charlieroberts commented 7 years ago

Right now I'm doing the following to detect a full Max/MSP/Gen license:

  1. Assign an lfo to control the volume of track 1.
  2. Wait for an error message to come in
  3. Remove the lfo.

The problem is that this takes a non-deterministic amount of time. In the end I wound up adding a timer that waits two or three seconds and then removes the Gen expression, and it doesn't always seem to give me the correct results.

Is there a more reliable way to detect this so that the status can be sent along with the initial LOM? Paging @grrrwaaa ... - Charlie

Unfortunately, after discussing this with folks at Cycling, the answer to this question has proven to be "no" (there's a lot more to it really...). So this will have to stay the way it is currently for the immediate future.
