licence question and Localization question
posted

Our developers have no problem building the application locally on their own pc (each has a full licenced copy installed) but when an automated system attempts to build the application on our Clearcase build server it fails due to licence exceptions.

This server has all the dlls installed but since no one works on that server (it is our source code repository) we simply copied over the runtime dlls. Do we need to purchase a licence for this server even though no developer will ever use it, or is there some way around this problem?

A second 'packaging' question is whether you have any 'localized' versions of the package available. Specifically Japanese. (We noticed that you have an office in Japan.)
I know I can localize the interface, one string at a time, by calling the SetCustomizedString() method and fetching the string from my resource file, but it appears that there are literally thousands of user visible strings in the package - which means lots of time required to identify them, add lines to both code and res file, and then translate them.
Some of our other vendors provide a localized resource file that we simply point the assemblies to ... and I was hoping you had such resource files. (I have also heard of 'localized' assemblies that can be distributed instead on the english ones, although I have not come across such a thing myself.)

Thanks.

    Question 1 - see our license language here. Generally a build server can be considered one of your developers 'other' machines and you can install that developers copy to the build machine. 

    Question 2 - we do indeed sell a Japanese verson of NetAdvantage.  However, note that we are not on the same release schedule as it take a significant amout of time to translate the NetAdvantage developers version into Japanese.

    You should review the help docs that are installed with NetAdvantage or online here and see the Assembly Resource Strings topic in the Assemblies section of the Toolset section of the Developer's Guide in the Windows Forms section of the help for details on how you can access the Winforms Assembly Resource Strings.

    At the present time we aren't able to provide a localized resource file for our assemblies.

    You can contact Developer Support with an incident here if you have futher questions.
