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,Feedback,Error report, version check)
The only method I can not execute is the BuyNow example.
I have tried leveraging the Sharewarestarterkit.com web service to rule
out locality, to no avail.

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

m_webservice.GetLicenseAsync(Client.Properties.Set tings.Default.ProductName,
m_datastore.UniqueMachineID,
buyNowInfo.LicenseLevel,
buyNowInfo.Invoice,
Client.Properties.Settings.Default.DevToken,
m_datastore.UniqueMachineID);
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
when the following delegate is called (assume triggered by async
completion / failure )...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
m_webservice.GetLicenseCompleted += new
GetLicenseCompletedEventHandler(_webservice_GetLic enseCompleted);

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the exception contained in the args value passed into the delegate from
the async web request is this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- args {Client.SskWebService.GetLicenseCompletedEventArgs } Client.SskWebService.GetLicenseCompletedEventArgs
+ base {Client.SskWebService.GetLicenseCompletedEventArgs } System.ComponentModel.AsyncCompletedEventArgs

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
