Is there a way to prevent an Assembly from being added in the IDE

Hi

I know about Component Licensing. However, that Component Licensing is not
well suited for my particular need. I understand about runtime and design
time components but I want my components to be used by non-GUI apps as well.

I have an Assembly with many non-design classes that I would like only
licensed developers to use. However, when they deploy their application
along with my assembly to their clients, I don't want their clients to start
reusing the assembly for their development purposes.

Is there a way to prevent an Assembly from being added to the IDE without a
developer license? Or is there a way that the Assembly knows its being
added into some IDE environment, whereby I can detected is a developers
license exists?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Ross
