A more sound licensing scheme for CustomControls

Note: this entry has moved.

Some time ago I complained about a naive approach to the subject suggested in an MSDN article. It looks like I was not the only one thinking along the lines of signed licencing files :o)

Update: another product also exists, which is more powerful and mature, judging by its features description and blog comments...

  • I too prefer Xheo|Licensing to anything else I've seen thus far.

  • I certainly looks like a more powerful product. However, I was talking about the licensing schema in general, that is, XML file + digital signature. In that respect, both are exactly the same.

  • Agreed Xheo has a fully featured product. Our product is just a VS AddIn which just adds basic support for licensing and leaves you to implement it how you would like.



    There is nothing our product does that you can't do yourself, it just makes it a bit easier.



    Remeber with Xheo you have to distribute their assembly with your product, which could be an added complication or pure overkill for s small component.
