Summary

Using Unlock By Serial Number can be easy. This sample demonstrates how to create the runtime.lic file to lock your assembly with a serial number.

More Information

Unlock By Serial number uses two licenses in a single .LIC license filel to coordinate trial vs. registered mode. In the embedded runtime.lic you include first a license that has a Registration Limit, and Trial limit and a second license that has its UnlockBySerial property set to true. When the user first attempts to use the license, they will be prompted to enter their serial number. If the serial number matches the values expect by the second license, it will be unlocked, otherwise they will be prompted to continue in trial mode.

The attached sample includes a sample license signing key that can be used for testing the application. You should create your own keys when generating your own licenses.
