app licensing

does vb.net allow for locking the vb app?
i.e., similar to leasing the sw where the user has to contact the developer
on fixed intervals for a licensing code to unlock the software?

also is there a dll for web sites to release the license code via web page
or even directly from the vb app?

thank you.

Rasta,

There is no such feature shipping with VB.NET.. but you
can always code your own.

however you can use third party components.. few you can
find at www.componentsource.com under 'Software Licensing'
section.

Hope this helps,
