Deploy software with License

Can anyone direct me to a KB or white paper on industry practice for
protecting unlicensed copies of my software from being installed with the use
of a license?

I am having trouble understanding if the LicenseProvider class can be used
together with SystemInformati on to lock a license to a computer hard drive.

Many thanks in advance

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right group to post this. If not, then I would appreciate if somebody could point me to the correct group. This is my first time releasing software to the public and I'm wanting to release a Python program I wrote for review (and critique) and testing on other platforms, but also I would like to explore the different software licenses that are available (there seems to be many). Since the specification...

I want to deploy a Visual studio.net windows application. This application uses MSCOMM32.OCX control. This application works fine on a development machine. However, if I deploy it on a non-developer machine, the application fails to load. It throws an exception, class is not licensed for use. In the source code, a new instance of the control is created, so, when, at runtime, it looks for a design-time license for the control.

I don't feel very confident when it comes to software licenses. But there are some cases I would like to make myself clear. What I am particulary interested in is when does GPL license become restrictive? For example say a company has a proprietary software product that only works with MySQL and no other database system. Are the following cases legal? 1) This company sells his product under proprietary license and leaves it up to the...

Yes, I know you've seen the above subject before, so please be gentle with the flamethrowers. I'm preparing to enter a discussion with management at my company regarding going forward as either a MySql shop or a Postgresql shop. It's my opinion that we should be using PG, because of the full ACID support, and the license involved. A consultant my company hired before bringing me in is pushing hard for MySql, citing speed and community...

Hello, Just wondering if anyone can offer advice (perhaps based on experience) on how to deploy and license a C++ based app as a commercial library. The main questions I'm trying to answer are whether to provide source code, a DLL, or a static lib, and what kind of pricing scheme should be considered. The lib could be used to drive at-home desktop UI's or interface with back-end middleware. Thanks for your input!

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

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,...
