License control for Browser Based Applications

I would like to know whether i could use Lime LM to enable license to my applications built in PHP (or) asp.net

Yes, you can use TurboActivate (the part of the licensing you include with your app) in web applications. Using TurboActivate with ASP.NET is much easier than using TurboActivate with PHP. See:Using TurboActivate with C# or Using TurboActivate with VB.NET.

You can add TurboActivate to your PHP app too, but it's much harder. You have to create a PHP extension written in C or C++.

Site note: there's a difference between TurboActivate and LimeLM. You can use LimeLM in PHP, ASP.NET, or any other server-side language. LimeLM is what you use as developers to build product keys, edit features, etc, etc, etc.

TurboActivate is what you integrate with the app you're planning to sell to end-users. It's primarily used in "desktop" apps, but you can also use it with server-side languages.

Hi,

I am really happy and thankful to know that we could use Limelm for our web/browser based applications. It would be great if you could give more information (or examples) on how to use it for our applications.

Please note we have few applications in asp.net and few applications in Php. So, i request you to give few examples on how to integrate the license features in our applications.If required we are ready to share our code also. Please let me know to which email id do i have to send the code to proceed.

I request your kind cooperation in this.

--thanks,

Hi,

Further to the discussion with you, i have encountered the following issues when trying to use the turbo activate.dll and turboactivate.dat in our asp.net application. Please find below the same and help us in this.

1. System.windows.form - name space------Cannot use system.windows.form namespace in asp.net C# Coding. The application is not supporting the name space system.windows.form. P.S. Note: I hope the mentioned namespace is only for windows/desktop application. Please suggest what namespace should be used for browser based applications (Asp.net with C# Coding)------2. Trial extension form

I Couldnt Integerate Trialextension form in web based coding. Please let me know how to use this form/functionality.-----

Please review our coding for your reference.

if (show) { int trialDaysRemaining = 0;

try { TurboActivate.UseTrial();

void btnExtendTrial_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { TrialExtension trialExt = new TrialExtension(); if (trialExt.ShowDialog(this) == DialogResult.OK) { // get the number of remaining trial days int trialDaysRemaining = 0;

try { trialDaysRemaining = TurboActivate.TrialDaysRemaining(); } catch { }

// if more trial days then re-enable all app features if (trialDaysRemaining > 0) { ReEnableAppFeatures(); //lblTrialMessage.Text = "Your trial expires in " + trialDaysRemaining + " days."; } } }}

You can't use Windows Forms in ASP.NET applications. You have to build your own "form" (I use "form" in the HTML sense, not the "Windows Forms" sense) to get the product key and/or trial extension from the user.
