Async Web Service calls and Shareware Starter Kit

[whizpop]

Hi,
First of all, thanks for a great starter kit, now If I could just get
it to work (fully).
I am trying to compile and run the solution/services all on a local dev
box.
I am able to successfully run most of the SampleApp features
(Register,Feedb ack,Error report, version check)
The only method I can not execute is the BuyNow example.
I have tried leveraging the Sharewarestarte rkit.com web service to rule
out locality, to no avail.

The exception occurs as a result of calling this method:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

m_webservice.Ge tLicenseAsync(C lient.Propertie s.Settings.Defa ult.ProductName ,
m_datastore.Uni queMachineID,
buyNowInfo.Lice nseLevel,
buyNowInfo.Invo ice,
Client.Properti es.Settings.Def ault.DevToken,
m_datastore.Uni queMachineID);
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
when the following delegate is called (assume triggered by async
completion / failure )...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
m_webservice.Ge tLicenseComplet ed += new
GetLicenseCompl etedEventHandle r(_webservice_G etLicenseComple ted);

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the exception contained in the args value passed into the delegate from
the async web request is this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- args {Client.SskWebS ervice.GetLicen seCompletedEven tArgs} Client.SskWebSe rvice.GetLicens eCompletedEvent Args

one strange thing is that if I change it to a synchronous call, it
seems to get a result...
below is the messagebox content when I just display the synch call
returned data.

OK
All of the other service calls work, so I am a bit confused.
I am unable to step into the web service code during the call so Im not
sure where to go from here.

Does anyone have any ideas as what I can check, or look into?

Thanks for any Help
