Can I use LimeLM in a Windows UWP app?Solved

Is it possible to use LimeLM in a pure Windows UWP (Universal Windows Platform) app?

Just to be clear, I'm not asking about a win32 app converted to a .appx installer, I think this may work, although I haven't tested it fully yet.

What I am curious about is if I were to create a UWP app from scratch, can I still utilize LimeLM somehow for licensing? Is it possible? Has anyone done this?

Thanks.

We haven't tested using TurboActivate and TurboFloat in Universal Windows Platform apps. It should work. Let us know if it fails and we'll see what we can do about it.

Also note: TA / TF can't run on Windows Phone (it's a separate operating system), so you'll have to be "Desktop only" if you're targeting UWP.

Thanks for the quick response Wyatt.

This app would be desktop only, no phone involved.

If I get the chance to work through a proof of concept, I'll post back here what I find out.

Red Wood,Were you ever able to use wyDay on a UWP app. Could you please share your experience and/or a proof of concept?

And for good reason: you were extremely limited to what APIs you could use from "pure" UWP apps.

The good news is you can use any language or API subset even if you're releasing apps in the Windows Store.
