1) Curiosity Question: Your C# sample code overrides the OnLoad Event of the form, why? What’s going on behind the scene that requires a method override rather than simply using the standard OnLoad event for example? Just curious.

2) Curiosity Question: Are the DaysInUse written to a registry key that requires you to be logged with Administrative privileges?

3) Problem: If your website domain name is long enough (like ours) the link name will cover the OK button on the license installer form (the form that prompts the user to key in their license key). I think it would be best if you move the website Link to be on top of the text box so there is plenty of more space.

4) Suggestion: While looking for copy protection software, I ran across some site that had a little vide on how their application works. After watching this small videos it was esay to realize how easy was to use their product and made you want to buy them! I think you guys should create a small video showing just that so people realize that is extremely simple to implement copy protection with your solution.

Thanks.

There's nothing magical going on here. Microsoft recommends overriding the OnEvent methods rather than attaching an event handler when handling an event within the object that originates it. Events are intended for external clients - overriding the OnEvent method is just a bit more efficient and uses less memory. For old VB6 programmers this is a bit of a change.

The EvaluationMonitor does use the registry to store data - but it handles the possibility it may not have Admin priveleges and will use an area of the registry it can access.

You can derive a new form from our LicenseInstallForm class and move things around yourself. We also supply full source for the LicenseInstallForm (along with other DLL classes) when you purchase - so you can simply customize this to fit your needs.

Thanks for the suggestion. We admit that marketing is not our strong point - but we are working on it.

I don't agree. Our domain name is not that terrible long (22 character) so I think your form should account for large domain names by default.

And no, I don't want to touch any of the code, the last think I (and any other developer) want is to have something more to worry about. What would happen if you issue a bug fix? Am I going to have to redo everything again? Forget it, I rather simply copy and paste the new code and get it over with rather than having to remember what a heck did I do the last time so I can make the changes again.

What’s the big deal anyway, just move the domain link control a little more to the left or even better put it centered on top of the textbox. Is not like the license installer form looks so beautiful right now that it would be a shame to tamper with it! When it comes to license installer, it’s about functionality not about looks Very Happy

We have no problem with making more room for the domain name in our default LicenseInstallForm. I was just pointing out that you could implement this now yourself. The LicenseInstallForm is a very simple form to allow basic entry of license keys. It basically just makes calls to the Licensing classes to validate and install the license. So any changes we might make to the licensing system logic are unlikely to have any impact on the LicenseInstallForm.

Many of our customers choose to write their own License Install Forms (or customize the existing one) anyway to get the exact look and feel they want (which is in general a highly subjective thing) or to add branding or additional features.

At the risk of 'gilding the lilly', I'd have to disagree with that. I've done a Google search on 'Infralution', and you have really done a good job of placing your products where they need to appear. Infralution is one of the models we're going to use in marketing some new products on the web.
