Licensing .NET Applications
The development of software is very expensive so there's the need to protect your applications with a good software licensing model.
What you'll learn
Because the development of an application is very expensive, the licensing topic is an important and often necessary task. This course gives you an introduction how licensing can be used. The key concepts are the licensing model included in the .NET Framework, a short overview of other frameworks and the new open source framework Portable.Licensing. You will learn about licenses and licensing models you can include in your applications.
