build 39 and build 40 do not work at all.
When you try to log it in to the world you keep getting this error.

build 39 kept giveing this one.
Unable to create bot instance (reason: 518)

build 40 keeps giveing this one.
Unable to create bot instance (reason: sdk license error)

Reason 518 is... SDK Version Mismatch. Which means you are trying to
send your 4.1 bot to a 3.6 universe. You can fix this by changing the
port from the old default (5670) which is for the 3.6 uniserver to the
new default port (0) which is for the 4.1 uniserver.

Reason 518 is actually a license error. It can be caused if you have
the wrong universe entered. Please make sure you leave the universe field
blank.

There is also a bug in the SDK where you may get this error if you do
not have the license.awsdk file in the working directory of your program.
If you are running Preston from a shortcut, you may receive this error :)

Hmm I ran into a nother problem now.
I can't get it into my world located in another uni.
I get them same errors again.
Is this version for AW only at this time?

aw_init; makes sure the license is valid and hasn't expired

aw_create_resolved (called by aw_create); same as aw_init but also checks universe address/port and maximum number of instances

aw_wait; same as aw_init

aw_enter; same as aw_init

If this horrible thing is here to stay then they have to add a function to the sdk where you specify the path of the license to
load.
(Called before aw_init)

I'm hoping they will come to their senses and get rid of sdk licenses soon.
Because it doesn't add anything useful that can't be solved in a way that's transparent to the user.
And it's no longer possible to log bots into multiple univereses with a single instance of the sdk.

If this is a 4.1 universe, you need to obtain the license.awsdk from the
universe owner. If it's a 3.x universe, you need to use Build 37 :)
