ILMerge and component licensing problems

Hi,

I'm using ILMerge to combine various assemblies. Everything works bar one
problem... the 3rd party licensed components no longer see the embedded
licensing information.

According to ILDAsm, both the original primary assembly and the merged
output assembly contain the appropriate .mresource entry in their manifests.

I'm wondering whether there's something fundamental about the license file
that means types that were previously in a different assembly no longer
believe they are suitably licensed after merging, and give annoying popups.

I've used LC.exe to create my own compiled license file, but the only way
I've found to add it into an assembly requires doing so at the compilation
stage.

Has anyone else come up against this, or does anyone understand the guts of
System.Componen tModel licensing well enough to shed some light?

Thanks,

Drew Noakes.

I want to use ILMerge in my project, but it requires a framework version that I cannot find the download for (2.0.7.... something). The latest I can see is 2.0.5. Does anybody know where I can find this framework or a version of ILMerge that works with an earlier framework. Thanks.

Hi, I want to integrate into some components (webcontrols, custom DLL, custom command lines tools...) a license validation. The license will be attached to the client's name and the primary hard drive ID of the customer computer. (or any combination to make sure that the tools are installed on 1 computer only) For Each new client or new server deployed, the customer must ask us, then we generate a key.

I would like to create a demo version of my product by having a "registration" component that would allow either a time limit or number of executions use for demo purposes and then force the user to register. I would like it to be PC sensitive so the user can not copy from machine to machine after they receive the registration key. In VB6 I used such a tool and it used the hard drive serial number in some way to generate a unique...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
