License Installation

You will receive a pair of license files for each individual product you purchased. They are the design-time and run-time licenses for the purchased product.

Note: Developers may request for license files for WebLayoutLite free of charge at http://www.zettacube.com/.

Product Design-time License Run-time License
WebDock WebDock.designtime.licx WebDock.licx
Web Splitter WebSplitter.designtime.licx WebSplitter.licx
WebLayout WebLayout.designtime.licx WebLayout.licx
WebLayoutLite WebLayoutLite.designtime.licx WebLayoutLite.licx

Without a license, the corresponding product will function fully at design-time and run-time within the demo period (usually not less than a month) except that a friendly reminder will appear occasionally.

Design-Time License Installation

Put the file <productname>.designtime.licx into the Licenses folder inside the folder where ZeeControls was installed. By default the Licenses folder is in Program Files\ZettaCube\ZeeControls\Licenses.

Important
Each individual product is licensed per developer. The design-time license file should be kept confidential and should never be distributed with the target web applications.

Run-Time License Installation

Put the file <productname>.licx into the root folder of the web application. If you choose to put the license file to another location, please specify the new location in web.config.

To specify a location relative to the web application root folder, precede the path with ~/

<appSettings>
    <add key="ZettaCube.WebDock.LicenseFile" value="~/licenses/WebDock.licx"/>
    <add key="ZettaCube.WebSplitter.LicenseFile" value="~/licenses/WebSplitter.licx"/>
    <add key="ZettaCube.WebLayout.LicenseFile" value="~/licenses/WebLayout.licx"/>
    <add key="ZettaCube.WebLayoutLite.LicenseFile" value="~/licenses/WebLayoutLite.licx"/>
</appSettings>

To specify an absolute location

<appSettings>
    <add key="ZettaCube.WebDock.LicenseFile" value="c:\licenses\WebDock.licx"/>
    <add key="ZettaCube.WebSplitter.LicenseFile" value="c:\licenses\WebSplitter.licx"/>
    <add key="ZettaCube.WebLayout.LicenseFile" value="c:\licenses\WebLayout.licx"/>
    <add key="ZettaCube.WebLayoutLite.LicenseFile" value="c:\licenses\WebLayoutLite.licx"/>
</appSettings>
Important
  1. The web application must have read access to the license file.
  2. The web server must be configured to prevent the license file from being directly downloaded by a client browser. E.g. IIS should be configured to bar clients from accessing files with .licx extension.
  3. You do not need to include the license files into your Visual Studio project (even they are under the project folder). If you choose to include them in your project, please set their Build Action to None.
