Is Licensing in .NET just for controls or more?

Is the licensing provided in the framework just for controls created in
vb.net/or other language, or can it also be used to license applications?

thanks,

Shane

Hi ,
The licensing framework is primarily used for controls and also classes.
A detailed description can be found at
http://windowsforms.net/articles/Licensing.aspx

Also I did a webcast on writing custom license providers. It is at
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;822680

As far as licensing for applications, in the case of windows application,
you can use the LicenseProvider attribute to the main form's class and then
write your own validation mechanism.

The above links have information that can help in writing custom license
providers.
