I installed my old Visual Basic programmes in Windows 7 and I have two problems.
1- VB itself which apparently is not compatible.
2- I used some controls which are not supported anymore but I used vbusc.exe for Windows XP and it worked. Now for Win7 what can I do?
I have a vb program that is closed source free program. I am using a CONSOLE PROGRAM licensed under the GPL license. This is not GPL source code, but an actual GPL app.(I am using process.start to run it) and I was wondering if there is a licensing incompatibility or something. I am clueless on licensing. Would I just have to include a license file with it, or would I have to release the code, or what.

View 1 RepliesI have up until recently developed only in-house custom applications and I have never had a need to protect this software with any type of licensing/ protection mechanisms.I'm now working on a new project for a software app that I plan on distributing to a relatively small number of clients (1000 or so) and I need to consider some type of licensing/software protection solution that I can easily integrate into my application.I'm also looking for specific product recommendations (if possible) based on users experiences. With vast assortment of product offerings out there, I'm having a very hard time wading through them all.
I would like to stick with a software option over a hardware dongle type solutions so that I can make distribution and activation as painless as possible for my customers¦but would consider hardware options if need be.I have tried the KeyLOK hardware evaluation kit but it seems to be a little difficult to implement and it would force my customers to wait days before they could initially activate and use my application. [code] License registration and tracking via Internet..Software distribution is very controlled and it's not a techie type user audience, so hacking is not a major concern but I would like to protect the application as much as possible.
I want to buy a license manager. I have read about these 2 products (from his web) but I don't know which is better. which you recommend to me?
View 2 RepliesI have created an Excel Ribbon Addin that has some custom features that will benefit a relatively small business niche. The target companies number less than 1,000.I don't want to limit any one company's usage of the Addin...meaning I want them to be able to install and use the Addin as often as they need to, for as long as they need to, on as many computers as they need to.
The thing I want to prevent is sharing of the Addin. There are family members in this industry, that own different companies in different parts of the country...there are close friends in this industry that each own different companies. I want each company to purchase the Addin instead of share it.I have created a License Agreement that they have to agree to before the Addin is installed. But, that is as far as I have gone with it at this point.So, this leads me to 2 questions:
1. Is it worth the investment and effort to create this type of limitation for such a small market?
2. If so, what is the best way to go about accomplishing this?
I need to reformat my HD and will lose everything, including my VB stuff. I can't positively identify all of it's contents/shared folders/assciated files, etc so as to back it all up. I would like to know how difficult will it be to simply reinstall all of the software from MS, concerning the registration/licensing/activation process? Or will I just have to start w/a new copy/registration/licensing ,etc? By the way, I am talking about "Express Editions"

View 2 RepliesI�m trying to implement a licensing schema for a template that uses the follow code snippet. (using VS2010 vb.net4)
<LicenseProviderAttribute(GetType(RegistryLicenseProviderSave)), _
GuidAttribute("2de915e1-df71-3443-9f4d-32259c92ced2")> _
Public Class Form1main
��. Form code etc.
End Class
I need to utilize the GUID value in other classes within my application, as an example, as making registry entries.My goal is to have this editable at only 1 place in the template.I�ve created a Friend class that has the GUID string in it, but I�m unable to get the above to recognize the string. I�m sure that the code is simple, but it evades me.I would really like to do is to access the Guid that VS2010 vb.net creates (Project->Application->Assembly) shows and insert it into my application.

Heres the basic idea of what I would like my program to turn out. "License" creator: -I give a "permanent" ID Generator to someone -They get an ID that only works for their computer, and doesnt change unless the computer is changed -They give me their ID -I input the ID into a "database" -Program creates a "License" file using the "permanent" ID Main Program: -Loads the License File -Checks if the License is a valid file (using the database)

[code]...
My main Application A starts a 3rd party Application B that runs as a console application. So I don't have access to the Application B source code. When specific things happen in Application A, I can properly launch a vb.net Application C that I built, which properly shuts down Application B, by sending a Ctrl-C signal to it, the same as hitting Ctrl-C in a console window. But I cannot have this occur on Windows shutdown because Application B shuts down on its own before I even have the chance to launch Application C to shut it down. Is there a way to keep some kind of control over Application B when I launch it, or any way to have it be last in the shut down of programs in Windows?

However, my problem is when the software is run on Vista. My software doesn't seem to be able to control any of the Mixer Lines it's supposed to, but will randomly change the Mute/Volume level setting on the 'Application Audio' setting in the Mixer. Can anybody point me in the right direction to change settings on a Vista machine? My Module is attached below. To use in a form you must use the line: modMixer.OpenMixer() prior to any further commands. For example:
1. modMixer.OpenMixer()
2. modMixer.MuteLineInVolume = True

How can I get the user control window to stop doing this.
