Unable to locate license assembly (regarding source control)

I am on a project with 4 other developers.  I am the only one using Infragistics (for the webchart).  I sent my Infragistics webchart changes to our source control and the other devlopers have gotten the latest version of our project.

 Now those developers are getting the following error:

Error 1 Exception occurred creating type 'Infragistics.WebUI.UltraWebChart.UltraChart, Infragistics2.WebUI.UltraWebChart.v6.3, Version=6.3.20063.1079, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=xxx' System.ComponentModel.LicenseException: Unable to locate license assembly. C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\xxxxx\Properties\licenses.licx 1 vpm-sp2

The licx file is automatically generated by Visual Studio, and contains the list of components which require a license to use at design-time.  This does get a little complicated when you attempt to use MSBuild to compile a project, because it looks at the same LICX file.  The trick (if I remember) is to have the other members clear the contents of the .licx file (don't delete the file, just empty out it's contents).  That should allow them to compile, though they will still be unable to open up any forms with Infragistics components inside of them.

I saw this message and have a similar problem.  I just posted a new message but want to add a wrinkle to this.

I searched my workstation for a licx file and couldn't find one.  Which folder should it be in?

 Thanks for your help.

Jane,

The LICX file is part of your project, and usually contained in the top level directory of your visual studio project.  It may be a hidden file, so you may have to "show all files" in the project to see it, or open the directory with windows explorer.

Hi,

 

I am having the same problem with the license file , in my case the requirements is to build template projects that have ASP.NET controls based on your components and delivery these controls to our customers so that they can reuse our controls  . our customers must be able to view all web forms that uses Infragistics components at design time.

is this possible ?

 

 

 

 

 

Your customers will need to have installed the same version of the toolset that you used to create your projects.  Otherwise, they will not be able to access any design-time functionality of our controls, and they will not be able to compile their applications that use your project.

Thanks Vince,

what about the license , will our customers need to purchase their own license too ? or they can use our license ?

 

Thanks

Your customers will need to have their own, separate license.

You may want to contact our Sales team to see if an OEM license is something appropriate for what you're doing.

Thanks Vince,

I just had a talk with my manager who actually contacted your sales before. let me clarify our requirements again ..We need to build (*.ascx) controls that uses Infragistics components. our customers need to use these controls but they don't need to interact with Infragistics component directly. the customers don't need to add or modify Infragistic components during the design. they just need to interact with our controls.

each control we build will have several Infragistic components and we will create all properties that our clients might need to change to meet their business requirements.

do our customers still need to have a separate license ? 

my current understanding is that they don't need a license but the problem is that they will not be able to view our controls at design time, is this true ?

 

[quote user="smartts"]do our customers still need to have a separate license ? [/quote]Yes, they will.

[quote user="smartts"]my current understanding is that they don't need a license but the problem is that they will not be able to view our controls at design time, is this true ?[/quote]This is part of the issue.  The other part, and which is likely more important, is that your customers won't be able to compile any application that makes use of your user control.  This is because the .NET Framework performs a design-time license check at build time, and that license check requires that a licensed version of the toolset be installed on the computer where the build occurs.  This is the primary reason why your customers will need their own licensed version of our toolset.

Hi,

I have a Windows Forms application which is developed in VB.NET which refers Infragistic controls.

Solution was developed in 2011 and It has Infragistics dll's in it.(For Eg .Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.v5.3,Infragistics.Win.Misc.v5.3 and few more).

When I try to build,solution builds successfully but I am not able to open any form and do development as it gives error as 'Unable to locate license assembly'

I have not installed anything on my system yet and all dlls are in Bin folder of my solution.

please Help.

To get the designers to work you will need to install the version of the controls that you are using.

this helped me thanks

Hi, I am facing same issue. How did you resolved this. I have only dll in bin folder. How can i install version of controls?

Because when you install Infragisticsto at security high control user, you need to leave it low
