FTP As Activation License?
Dec 12, 2010
Just looking at various ways to do so.I came accross an article which unfortunatly I can't find anymore. It explained it like this. (I'll try remember all of it)1) Put activation key in textbox12) Press button3) Checks with the FTP server if the title of a file (In the this case the license key) in the FTP server.4) If the file doesnt exist then a message box comes up incorrect license.4b) I the file does exist then my.settings.activate = 15) Next time its loaded up, the program checks if my.settings.activate = 15b) If not then an activation key must be put in and proccess starts again.

Let's say we have a controltab with two tab. The first tab contains textboxs where entry values are entered On the second tab are textboxs that display the results. I have noticed that if I fill up the entry values and create the binding between each textbox and their property and then I destroy it (without clearing the textboxs), the textboxs of the second tab will not display any result. I have this exemple here BindingAddition.rar

An application I'm working with registersun-registers a group of dll's using regsvr32.
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("regsvr32", "somedll.dll /s")
This worked fine on Pre Vista systems but this will not work on Vista7 due to UAC.
Is there an alternative method to register dll's programatically without needing elevation?
If it help's the dll only needs to be registered for the current user, could adding details to the registry directly solve this?
(The application runs several versions of a legacy application, these dll's are swapped out depending on the version being loaded)

I have made some custom .dll's or components and then I downloaded custom webkit component and it didn't work perfectly(I mean that I always get some error code with this error: An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details.The error is: Failed to initialize activation context. When I try to debug the project). And if I have made a new project, and make a component with user control, and I haven't saved it yet, it will work fine, but until I save it then it will give me a designer error.

I am going to publish my program soon. As for the product serial activation, I have combined the user machine's CPU ID and the MAC Address to make a formula. Here is the class code to find processor ID and MAC which I have found on net and used :
Friend Function GetProcessorId() As String
Dim strProcessorId As String = String.Empty
Dim query As New SelectQuery("Win32_processor")
Dim search As New ManagementObjectSearcher(query)
Dim info As ManagementObject
[Code] .....
There a few questions I want to ask to be sure about my program activation :
- These 2 function code, Are they safe to use ? Is there any possibility that one of them or both doesn't return anything ? ( because of user permissions,os type, etc...)
- Is it possible that somehow the user machine won't have MAC Address?
- Is Proccessor ID a Unique serial for each machine in the world?

In Excel 2010 (but also in older versions you can find a nice functionality - auto filter. When you just put some data in a row and press CTRL+SHIFT+L you activate Auto Filter. Now you press the down arrow and you get what I need... A new window appears. This window include buttons ordered in something like a context menu a textbox and a checkedlistbox. The windows definitely is not a classic form, because when you operate with the controls on it, the original excel windows is still the active window. The window can also be drawn outside of the main excel windows.

I 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?

This is how I handle online activation for my application the problem is that this is very poor security because i display my Username and Password. I was thinking of using Myslq but i also have to input the Username and the password into the application. What other ways do big companies like Kaspersky handle online activation.
My code
Try
My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile("FTP SITE" + textbox1.Text + ".txt", "C:" + textbox1.Text + ".txt", "USER", "PASS")
Dim auth As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("C:" + textbox1.Text + ".txt")
If auth = Textbox2.Text Then
Kill("C:" + textbox1.Text + ".txt")

It's being some years since i actually wrote a program in VB, last time was VB 6.So it's being a long time, and things have changed a bit.And i am still very rusty, so i need to get back into it.I got a few problems which i cant remember very well.1st question.I got several text boxes, in these text boxes there will be prices of products.The very last text box is inactive, and is supposed to show the total of all of the above.I have to declare the text boxes to contain numeric values only, so there will be no mistake when doing the calculations.But i cant remember what it was, and what the best option is to add up all the values from the text boxes.

My vb.net browser will be the first application I'm actually pushing out to the public.Everything else so far was for me and friends or some type of class. My problem is I don't know what license to pick to release it under. It's going to be partially open source and partially not.Whats included that i didn't write or make
GeckoFx - web browser plugin like ie but based off firefox
App Life Update - http:www.kineticju...te/Default.aspx ( I have the free limited license)
Sqlite - used for bookmarks
Other than those to plugins/dll files everything else i wrote myself or followed tutorials on and modified to fit my applications need.

We plan on selling an application that I've made and we want to be able to force the user to buy a 1-year license for it. And of course after that 1-year we want the program to stop working and force the user to purchase another license.
I've seen many things in VB.NET with certificates/licensing but I'm just not familiar with them to be able to take it any further. And right now I don't have the labor to spend hours messing around with it.

I have a problem with my application. I have got it to the point of running the AVG installer, but it fails because a licence key is needed. I have the licence key, but the idea is that my application makes it easy for the user by them just needing to click through.
Is there a way to automatically input the licence key into the licence key field on AVG's set-up from my application? [code]...

I have built an excellent licensing key system which works well on desktop pc's. Basically I run an algorythm on the Hard Disk Serial Number and the Customer Name. While this is not totally brilliant, it seems to work really well (on desktop machines or machines with real hard disks). Now that we come to Tablet PC's, I have found that the Serial Number of the "DISK" which is normallyan SSD is the same from one machine to the next - so all unlock codes end up the same. How about making a unique code for each machine I install my application on?

What is the best and most secure way to license software? Is there an existing program for doing so? I want to sell a script of mine, but I want to make sure that users cannot redistribute or sell it themselves (of course, if they deactivate the registration on their own computer and choose to resell, that is their choice).
The software language is VB.net.
Since I am not sure whether or not I could host a registration database of any sort, is there any way to keep licensing self-contained securely? I would like the user to be able to download the demo and be able to upgrade to the full version somehow.

I have an application that will be sold to a verticle market. Our techs will do the install, and the software requires hardware for it to work. But I still need to create something so that each customer has a key to use the software. So what is the best way to approach this. I don't high security, because the softare won't do a customer any good without hardware. But it's required in the bids that we do. I also have diffrent options for the software. Not everybody wan't all the bells and whistles, just the basic pakage.I was thinking maybe using a dongel for hardware key? But that more cost.Your thoughts?

The issue, is that I'm developing an app that won't be installed and will be used on a bunch of different PCs. The app is free, but uses some 3rd party tools and code, so the user must be aware of the licensing agreement for those tools.
Since it will be used on a bunch of PCs, I don't want the end user to have to accept this license agreement a million times.
Is there any way I accomplish this with a local resource of some sort?I was thinking I could add a license file that should be moved around with the executable, and that could contain a license agreement code, then i could prevent the app from being used without that file.

I want to create a license key function for my application.
For example I want in this key to contact 2 values: registered_to, expiry_date.
I want the licence key to be some sort of large string like: 2349ASDGKLASD87ASDGALSDK8ASD80972K.
I would need to create some way to create keys use some sort of algorhithm that decrypts the key and grabs the registered_to and expiry_date values. It also needs to check that the key string has some sort of check digit like credit cards have, so no-one can just type in a few random letters/numbers and it accepts.

When a user activates my program, a license file is emailed to them as an attachment. Some people are having trouble saving/downloading email attachments so would it be possible for the program to download the license file during activation into the installation directory?
During activation my program connects to my website and checks the user is registered and if so a license file is created online and emailed to the user[code]...
