Creating The Licenses.licx File

Note: If you are creating a component by dragging it from the toolbox, you do not need to create a licenses.licx file, as one will be created by the environment. These steps apply only if you are using a component as a reference, or from a non-Visual Studio .NET environment.

To create a licenses.licx file, use the following steps (This example demonstrates using the Tcp component).

Start a new application in Visual Studio .NET and add the Tcp component as a reference.
In the Solution Explorer, right-click the project name, choose Add, then Add New Item.
From the resulting dialog box, choose Text File and name the file "licenses.licx". Click Open.
For a licensed component, type the following in the licenses.licx file:
```
Dart.PowerTCP.SslSockets.Tcp, Dart.PowerTCP.SslSockets
```
For a trial component, type:
```
Dart.PowerTCP.SslSockets.Tcp, Dart.PowerTCP.SslSockets.Trial
```
and save the file. You should now be able to compile and run a project that uses the Tcp component as a reference.

Note! Do not change the "Build Action" property of the licenses.licx file from its default value of "Embedded Resource."

Please Note: Any time changes are made to the license, the project (not the Solution) must be rebuilt or license changes will not take effect.
