I presume that the build machine that creates the executable requires its own license file? I also understand that developers have their own license file. is it necessary for the developer to add or update the license file when checking in changes or will that create issues and the license file should come from the build machine when the executable is created. I read articles where it said the license file for the build machine must exist but it must be empty is that correct?
Hello Robert,
I am under the impression that by a “license file” in this case, you are referring to the licenses.licx file for your application? If my impression here is incorrect, please let me know as the following is based upon it.
The .licx license file in the project is a generated file by Visual Studio when you use the designer in Windows Forms. I don’t believe it needs to exist for the build machine, but if it does, it is best that it is empty. The reason for this is because errors will be thrown out if the referenced version of the Infragistics assemblies do not match what is in the license.licx file in specific version.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns on this matter.
