Licence deployment
Posted: Tue Feb 14, 2017 2:52 am
Hi All,
I am currently working on a project that requires the embedding of a reporting solution. What makes this project different than others is that I work on a platform that is a black box but allows to embed external components (all based on the .Net framework). We can deploy the external dll's on the server, then it will distribute them across all the clients and then we can write client-side code and use those references.
Now, I am able to upload the Stimulsoft dll's and reference them inside the project, I have actually already successfully embedded a report and inject an external data source, obviously I am still using the trial version of Stimulsoft.
My concern is:
How is the licence applied once we buy the component? The deployment on each client application is done by the server side of the application, so there is no way that we can deploy a licence file with it. I have tried different reporting components and it is all fine when coding inside visual studio and deploying, but the licence always fails to load when deploying into my software.
Is there a way to apply the licence by code? That is the only way we can apply licences to external components.
Hope my question is clear...
Thanks for the help.
