Hi Stoyan,

We are about to buy the winforms diagramming component. My question is how the licensing information is stored for the registered version? Is it compiled into the dll, or do we have a separate licence/manifest file?

If a developer who has the license for the component compiles the project that uses it, and then copies the compiled project to another computers (or to the customers) who hasn't installed the component, does it run as a registered version? Or do we have to install and register the component there too?

Hi,

It's inside the dll, and only the developer should run the control installer on their system. If you copy the compiled exe and diagramming.* assemblies to another system, the application should work without any registration of the component.

The eval and licensed version might have different strong names. If you get compilation errors coming from LC.EXE, edit the project's licenses.licx file and set PublicKeyToken=null at the end of the diagramming.winforms.dll line to make it work with any version of the dll. Also if you have the "specific version" property enabled for the reference in your project, you might have to temporarily disable it in order to update the references to the licensed dlls.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan
