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 recently purchased Visual Studio 2010 and am wondering if it is possible to use the VS2010 license as a substitute for VB6 license.
View 2 RepliesI have user log in logic in my web app. after successful log in, i set the user id in Session, so i can keep track of the user. and in my master file page load event, i do
Session.timeout = 60
so session should timeout after an hour. but my session times out at around 10 - 20 minutes. What am i doing wrong? i bet it's obvious.
My Asp.net Session Expires immediately even though i did the settings in web.config file,
<system.web>
<sessionState timeout="2880" mode="InProc" cookieless="UseCookies"></sessionState>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly"/>

i did above settings in web.config even then it expires after approx 3 minutes..
I have a login with "Remember Me" checkbox forkeeping people logged in but I 'm not understanding the Expiration with IsPersistent values.How would I set the expiration if IsPersistent is True andif the user doesn't check the box then they should be loggedout as soon as they leave the site, How do I set the experationfor that, I'm confused as to what to do.
Code:Private Sub btnLog_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs) Handles btnLog.Click Dim accountSystem As Manager.CustomerDB = New Manager.CustomerDB Dim customerID As String =

I have been reading up and trying to understand the difference viewstate and session and as i am only storing a database id i believe i have settled on Viewstate.
Am i right in saying that a viewstate never expires until the browser is closed? One of the issues i have with Sessions is that sometimes the people completling my websites forms can take and age to do so and the session can expire.
Is there a way in Visual Basic to check if the user's password is set to never expire in Active Directory? 've found a way to find the last date it was changed, but I can't find the other available options.

View 2 RepliesI have just completed a custom banking & accounting software application for a stingy client who doesnt wants to pay-up! How do i make the application a trail version that will expire in say 30 days, and also ensure that whenever it is installed, it checks for first installation and indicate remaining trial days.
View 2 RepliesJust 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.

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 completed a vb.net project and now i need to set 30 day trial period for the software. what are ideas behind generation of license keys. How it is formed. How we can develop our own license keys without third party softwares for creating license keys.
View 3 RepliesI 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?
View 1 RepliesI am wondering how to make a product key as a license key for my VB.Net windows form application? Because at the end of the day, i would have to package it as a exe file and i would like to include in a license key for the user.
And also may i know how to package the whole project as a exe file such that after the user excute the installer, everything will run. like how you install windows xp like that.
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?
View 5 RepliesHow can I protect my dll with a license key, I already have my licensing scheme but I don't know where to put it.
View 8 RepliesThe 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.
After countless hours of production, I've finally got a working product that I'd like to market. However, I obviously don't want this product stolen and torrented. So, how exactly would I add license support to my program? I'd like to make the license paired with a number that's unique to the compute
View 13 RepliesI 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]...
