Removing license related things messed up the export

[HIKuukkeli]

Hi,

In my plugin, there was a license system, where the user would need a serial number to unlock the plugin. I wanted to remove it, so the license dialogue was taken out, but that didn't work on its own, so I removed the definitions USE_COPY_PROTECTION=1 and USE_SCRIPT_COPY_PROTECTION=1. Now I tried to export the plugin on Windows (VST3), and I got an error that seems to say that something is trying to refer to the license, but can't because I took it out. How to fix this? The error is below.

@HIKuukkeli Did you clean the build after making those changes?

[HIKuukkeli]

@d-healey No, I did not. So I would need to build HISE again with Visual Studio, right?

[d.healey]

@HIKuukkeli I don't think you need to rebuild HISE, unless you changed some setting in the HISE .juicer file.

I was asking about cleaning the build for your project before exporting. Export > Clean Build Directory

[HIKuukkeli]

@d-healey Ah, thank you!
