Getting error trying to purchase magazine subscription.

Question

I'm getting a "You can't purchase this.  You must purchase the app that this item is for before you can purchase the item".  Well, this is what I am trying to do. I have the app and now I am trying to sign up for a year subscription.  Any help is appreciated.
I have a 1st Gen ipad.  32 gig with 3G. 
Thanks.

Hi jsmalley,
You have two native ways of getting a scaler datetime object in a DataPlugin, which you can then assign to an "eTime" channel value by value.  If you are reading in a datetime string (01/05/1999 12:23 am), then you can use the following syntax:
Set DateValue = File.Formatter.ParseString(StringValue, eTime)
If, alternatively, you are individually reading out the components of the datetime value (Years, Months, Days, Hours, Minutes, Seconds, Milliseconds), then you can use the following syntax:
Set DateValue = CreateTime(Years, Months, Days, Hours, Minutes, Seconds, Milliseconds, Microseconds, Nanoseconds)
In both cases you would assign the datetime value normally, though you have to use the "Set" syntax since you're assigning an object:
Set Root.ChannelGroups(1).Channels(1).Values(1) = DateValue
One footnote here, it is not very efficient to assign channel content value by value.  Is there a compelling reason you're not using Blocks and DirectAccessChannels?  Also, it's just fine to declare the channel as eR64 and tweak the display format property to be "Time"-- the one drawback with that is that LabVIEW and CVI and MeasurementStudio will not (yet) recognize that channel as a datetime channel, only DIAdem and Excel will.
