Enable Application To Run On Server / Network Share So That Only Serial Number Needed Is For Server?
May 29, 2012
I have an application I have developed which works great on individual PC's. However I've had some interest from a few customers that asked if I have a network version for site licencing.If my app did not save any data or write any reg entries, this might have been ok. But it does to the local computer. I also built in my own copy protection and trial function that stores data in the registry on the local computer.What would I need to do to enable my application to run on a server/network share, so that the only a serial number needed is for the server?

Greetings, I'm a little bit confused about SQL Server Compact behavior.I have a small app that uses a small sdf file located on a network share.The problem is that while the app itself is working perfectly well using the connection string that points the location of the sdf file on a network drive, when I try to open the same sdf using the Server Explorer I get this error:
SQL Server Compact does not support opening database files on a network share.Obviously, if the app IS working it does indeed support network shares, then why Server Explorer cannot open it?
I copied the database file to a local drive but it's not very convenient. What might be the problem?

I need to access to a server shared folder from a vb.net 2010 program, but the user in the same computer must not be able to access to the same folder. The access to this shared folder must be only permiss trough the program. (The shared folder is on a Windows server 2008 Std). It is possible for example to include user and password in the folder string?[code]...

I have developed a VB.NET program using a strongly typed dataset. This dataset has its connection to a SQL Server 2008 R2. The software should now be additionally used offline. The database should be exported to a *.sdf database. If no connection to the SQL server is produced, the software have to try to connect to the *.sdf database.I would like to achieve:
1. Export the data in the SQL Server 2008 R2 database to a local *.sdf file.
2. This *.sdf file has to work as an alternate connection string in the strongly typed dataset.

I am using Microsoft visual basic 2010 and SQL server 2008.I develop a small database application and it run well on my pc.I built and distributed the application to other pc on the same network, but when I run the application from other pc I got error message like this:A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.(provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)[code]

I am creating a server-client type application that allows the network administrator to perform tasks on remote computers by using TCP sockets (TCPClient and TCPListener).The server application needs to send out a message to a client machine (with client application installed) and from this, the client application will send back the required data (i.e. system info, task progress etc). This part works fine.However, I am having trouble in getting the client application to constantly listen for an information request in the background. It should be listening whenever the application is running. What I want to do is to have an event handler which, when a message comes through, acts upon the instructions to send the relevant information back. The server does not need to constantly listen for data, as it will only receive data after it has sent a request.

Basically back in VB6 days, I created several VB6 apps with Access as the backend database. I'd package my Access db file with the application setup, which copied it on to a shared network drive, and then different computers on the LAN could use the same backend database file, and that worked just fine. With SQL and VB .Net, I've done work with a SQL database hosted on a remote server, so you can basically build your query string easily and anyone can connect to it from anywhere, and it works just fine.However, what I'd like to do is have a local SQL express database as the backend for a VB .Net application and make a setup program that can install it in a way that it could be shared on a Local area network, without the user who is installing the application do anything.
I know about building a connection string with the local machine name, but I don't really have any experience with including an actual MDF file with the application. Does anyone know how it works, and is it a better approach? Does it work similar to placing an access file in a shared unc path?I know that ClickOnce (which is awesome) can install SQL express easily on a user's machine. However, the key is that I want SQL express to be installed only on the machine that is going to be the database server in a LAN enviornment, and not on every machine, unless it is neccesseary. And then how does your VB app know how to build the connection string to access the database from any machine on the local share?

Any simple way of automatically updating a newer version of my application from a network share. Everything I have read pertains to an update from a web site. This is possibly a simple thing to do but as I have 6-8 users using the application I have to email them all stating there is a new version on the share and for them to copy and overwrite the existing application executable in the program filesapp directory. If this could be done on launching the program within the splash screen that would be fantastic.

My company got a new server, with a new sever share name, etc. I also moved my project from 'My Documents' to the C: Drive. I went through all my code and replaced the old path info to the new path. Tried to publish and received errors stating my temporary key was no longer valid. I googled that error and tried a solution. I created a test certificate and the app published as expected.

I have a server that is not in the domain, but has data files on it, I would like users to be able to access. But don't want to manage individual accounts on the machine. With my application that i have written that gets the data(as long as I am logged on) how can I let any user in the main domain access to the data through my application?

i'm tying to send email in my application directly by the smtp server but the server doesn't allow me to do that.The application its used by everyone in the company, so i set the smtp client UseDefaultCredentials to True, but the server replies with this when i try to send an email:[code].....If i set the credentials by hand, the server sends the email. So my problem is how to make this work to everyone? I don't want to have one public/friend var all time in the application with the credentials of the current user?

An application loaded on a citrix server executes with no problem. When we try to run the same program files on a virtual server, we get silent errors and we do not even see the application window appear. The program runs for a moment in task manager, but then closes down. BTW other .net apps run on the virtual server. Here is the error we see in the event viewer application logs[code]...

I am creating small application (desktop search engine) which uses sql server as back end. Sql server is used to store huge data using indexing (for quick search). Is it necessary that client should have sql server on his machine to run the application? I don't want to install sql server on client's machine, because my application is just a small utility.Is there any other way so that I can store huge data using indexing?

I want to use my SQL Server DB over a network. I have setup server client applications.The thing is for my current DB, I need to give it to server administrator who attaches the DB to SQLExpress instance and only then my network computers can access that.My question is, is there any way that my vb.net application could attach this DB through code at runtime, and DB gets all rights that are necessary to access it over the network?
I can attach DB using Create procedure but for this I need to know the sa password. Is there any way that I could achieve the same goal without sa passord and sa intervention?My only purpose is to enable my DB to be accessible over the network with all read /Write rights.
