When upgrading from Windows Vista to the new Windows 7 RC some customers have complained of license access errors when running their protected software. DeployLX Licensing contains anti-hacking features to detect when a hacker tries to delete the secure storage.  When detected any license that uses secure storage (such as those containing a Time limit or Activation limit) will fail – informing the user that they need to run the application as an administrator at least once. However running as an administrator does not resolve the issue because the secure storage is still missing.More...

• Fixed module load exception on 64-bit operating systems with kill-debuggers option enabled.
• Added option to copy details to clipboard from the standard DeployLX Licesning extension panel.
• Calling SecureLicenseManager.ResetCacheXXXX methods will now clear license application state. This state is not used to enforce limits but to enhance user interface such as only showing the Trial form once per session.
• Added Test License button to DeployLX manager to make it easier to test licenses during development.
• When the license changes on the client are persisted they normally always try to save to the original location. If access is denied changes are persisted to a shadow copy of the license. Now, when the client persistence (LicenseFile.SaveTo) is NotSet, DeployLX will detect if the license is embedded and would normally be saved to the Program Files folder and will automatically use the shared folder instead.
• Added new option to Trial and Activation limits to control when the form is shown. The FirstTimeAndExpires value will show the form the first time the license is validated, then only again after the trial or grace period has expired.
• Fixed FieldAccessException when referencing public fields of types that also include private fields from another assembly.
• Added ability to obtain the deactivation codes when calling SecureLicenseManager.Deactivate.
• Changed the CodeVeil MSBuild targets to automatically be included in the build process at the end of the CoreBuild target.
• Resolved logic that allowed any returned value from a License Server to be ignored when Can Skip Server was selected in the Registration Limit.
• Fixed InvalidFormatException with non-english translations.
• When closing a project in the DeployLX Manager, if changes had occured since the last save the user was prompted. Selecting Cancel from the dialog box would result in the project being closed, unsaved, and any changes lost. Resolved the conflict to return to the project without closing it.
• Fixed inheriting from nested class causes stack overflow exception.
• See the complete change log for more details.

This is a maintenance release and includes just two key fixes.

• 3.2 R2499 Added support for Isolated Storage as a backup storage for ASP.NET applications that do not load a user account profile. Some users received an exception indicating that there were “Illegal characters in the path”. This has been fixed by filtering all the path values used to create the secure storage for safe file name characters.
• 3.2 R2499 Also added a new Visual Studio add-in for CodeVeil to translate exceptions and navigate them directly in Visual Studio. The installer failed on some machines because of a bug in the installer path resolution code.
