Some compilers (known for Visual Studio C++ 2007 an newer) crash when using this command. The reason is the tag value parameter. Use Validate instead. The command has the same parameters but no tag value parameter.

Yes / No module

The return codes for a Yes/No module (module type = 4) are:

 

•0 = module is Yes

•1 = module is Yes AND it is a demo version

•3 = module is No
