Hey for the license type how can I point this to our linux server, do I have to share the ACTIVATE.PVX through samba ? This safe? :)
The VS Code Extension needs to be given the path to an active PxPlus executable not the activation file. In this first version you can't point it at a remote PxPlus to use it.
We are looking into that as a feature we can add in a update.
Thanks! Is there an interim solution we can use like a development key to the local PC or something?
Is there a real need to even link to a licensed pvx? I just wonder because it cant really run pvx right? just read/save.. Doesnt the demo pvx plus allow same function? or am I missing something.

The VSCode extension does require a PxPlus installation and so is Windows only at the moment (I suspect it uses either the .exe or the COM interface to check for syntax errors)
A demo-activated PxPlus is enough though. That's what I've been using since the Software Developer license got cancelled and I was able to use the VSCode extension. I also saw the expiration nag messages when running VSCode so that's why I suppose it needs the interpreter to interface with the language server...
Thanks Stephane, I will try the demo license, I was thinking about it but I saw the docs say "fully activated" so I assumed the demo wasn't enough.
I tried it im not sure, these have to be text files?
I tried saving a file to text after multiple errors through ED+ somehow I got it and when I load it in Visual Studio Code I dont really see much benefit?
If its in Visual Studio we should avoid line numbers?
Can I see a screen shot of it loaded with a PVX program just to see what a sample program looks like in VS code? Thanks :)
There are screenshots and detailed instructions found in a how to here: https://manual.pvxplus.com?How%20To/How%20to%20Use%20PxPlus%20VS%20Code%20Ext.htm
Ok Thanks I didn't realize the PXP demo wasn't registered and I was using the default editor, and that was causing confusion. This Looks interesting.
Unfortunately I cannot open the files from a mapped drive or UNC from the linux server. Not sure why I am getting an error #12 if I copy the files locally it works.. I can create a "new" program and it saves, then I cannot re-load it error #12..
could this be linux samba / windows upper/lower case issue?
Somehow got it to work if:
I had to map a Drive, it also needs a subdirectory for it to work ie: M:\xyz\ Can't just use M:\ otherwise strange PVX Error #12's
