The configuration window for SSIS source component closes when I hit the parameter button

I'm using a CData SSIS source component within my Visual Studio data flow. The connection to the data source is working fine -- the problem is I can't define parameters for my SQL expression. I open the configuration editor for the source component and enter a SQL expression that contains a parameter (e.g., "Select * from Customer where Name = @param"). Then, when I hit the "Parameters" button, the configuration window suddenly closes.How do I get past this so I can define the parameter?

License error when using trial version of Salesforce ODBC driver on Linux

I am following the guide in “https://community.cdata.com/how-to-with-cdata-72/using-cdata-odbc-drivers-in-mac-linux-unix-environments-138” to try and install/configure the ODBC driver for Salesforce in our Dev Linux server. For the most part, the steps went smoothly. However, when I finally tried to query with the driver, I keep getting this error about needing a trial license: Could not find a valid license for using CData ODBC Driver for Salesforce 2022 on this system.  To obtain a trial license, please visit www.cdata.com or email [email protected] [code: G nodeid: 5E1NWBN8].If you believe you already have a license, please check the following path(s):/opt/cdata/cdata-odbc-driver-for-salesforce/lib/CData.ODBC.Salesforce.lic, /home/garrusb/.cdata/CData.ODBC.Salesforce.lic. Shouldn’t the rpm package I used have installed this trial license already?

The install-license.exe file is missing for python connector

I'm trying to install the Salesforce python connector. However, I can't find the install-license.exe file to do so. The instructions in “https://cdn.cdata.com/help/RFH/py/pg_pyinstallation.htm” mention it being in a “cdata/installlic_salesforce” folder, but the “cdata” folder is not anywhere in the zip file I downloaded.I would love to see if this connector will be useful for my purposes. But, I can't get very far with that if I can't even activate the license.
