PowerSNMP for .NET

Creating the Licenses.licx File

When you create a Manager or Agent component by dragging it from the toolbox, a licenses.licx file is automatically created by Visual Studio. The following steps are only necessary if you are using PowerSNMP for .NET classes without having dragged the Manager or Agent onto a form, or are using an IDE other than Visual Studio .NET.

To create a licenses.licx file, use the following steps. All PowerSNMP classes are licensed, but only Manager or Agent need be referenced in the licenses.licx file to use PowerSNMP for .NET.

  1. Start a new application in Visual Studio .NET and add the Manager component as a reference.
  2. In the Solution Explorer, right-click the project name, choose Add, then Add New Item.
  3. From the resulting dialog box, choose Text File and name the file "licenses.licx". Click Open.
  4. For licensed components, type one of the following in the licenses.licx file:
Dart.PowerSNMP.Manager, Dart.PowerSNMP
Dart.PowerSNMP.Agent, Dart.PowerSNMP

For a trial control, type: 
Dart.PowerSNMP.Manager, Dart.PowerSNMP.Trial
Dart.PowerSNMP.Agent, Dart.PowerSNMP.Trial
  1. Save the file. You should now be able to compile and run a project that uses any PowerSNMP class.

All PowerSNMP classes are licensed, and will operate correctly if either of the above entries is added to the licenses.licx file.

Important! Do not change the "Build Action" property of the licenses.licx file from its default value of "Embedded Resource."

Important! Any time changes are made to the license, the Project (not the Solution) must be rebuilt or license changes will not take effect.
