Manco .NET Licensing System

Overall, I found Manco .NET Licensing System to be a powerful licensing and copy protection tool for .NET Windows Forms, WPF, WCF, and ASP.NET applications, controls, and components. It offers a protection library that is available for .NET Framework 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, and Windows 8 Store app.

One of the main features that stood out to me was the flexible licensing schema, which allowed for the creation of many different licensing plans. The system uses a strong license file and unlock key encryption to ensure that the plans are secure.

Moreover, there are 49 predefined rules and unlimited custom values that provide flexibility in selecting the licensing schema. The custom values enable users to store additional information in the license file and lock/unlock features of their product or make additional tests to validate the license.

Another great feature of Manco .NET Licensing System is the ability to create a time/usage limited evaluation version of the product, which lets developers set an expiration date or number of days before the license expiration. This feature uses strong RSA encryption to sign license files, and you can activate your .NET product using a license file or encrypted Unlock Key.

The system also allows for the inclusion of additional user data in the Unlock Key, which is extracted by the Manco.Licensing protection library and used in the code for additional validations. This can be particularly useful for differentiating editions of a product.

Finally, the integration of source code in the protection library allows for the encryption of application data, source code, and binaries. The protection library can dynamically decrypt, compile, load, and use encrypted code in runtime. Additionally, the License Manager is a full-functional application that offers complete license and customer management.

Overall, if you're looking for a versatile and secure licensing and copy protection tool for your .NET application, Manco .NET Licensing System is a great choice.
