Detailed description of issue
I am locally running an Angular app where my URL is https://acme.app.local. I have a license defined for the domain app.local but in my app I am getting this error message:

I see the request to https://auth.pdfjs.express/?key=vvDl16bko1qkvdFGq6A4&r=1 come back with a 200 and the header Origin is https://acme.app.local.

I saw this ticket Local domain + port; licenseKey not recognised - #21 by zserviss and thought it should work but its not unfortunately.

Hello steve.haney,

" I see the request to https://auth.pdfjs.express/?key=vvDl16bko1qkvdFGq6A4&r=1 come back with a 200 and the header Origin is https://acme.app.local."

HTTP Status Code 200 is a correct response, this is not an error.

Can you provide more information? a screenshot of the error?

Best regards,
Tyler

Sure, the error in browser console is the following:

This is the response of the call to auth.pdfjs.express. I can’t tell if its expected or not in this format.

{"key":"è½ÅèÜþ»÷úá÷àÛÅþÆÜþìçÅäÈùý"}

Hello steve.haney,

The key looks incorrect, its in a format that is includes the characters: [a-z], [A-Z], [0-9]. Are you modifying the text in some way?

Best regards,

Yes, I agree the key returned looks wonky. The key I have in my javascript is the one being passed in the URL https://auth.pdfjs.express/?key=vvDl16bko1qkvdFGq6A4&r=1.

As I said this error is not happening when hosting this on AWS so it seems to be an issue with our local setup using the root URL (https://acme.app.local). At least according to my account license keys that key matches up to the domain app.local.
