Hi Grigori!

I have a query regarding the licensing issue for usage of GAX/GAT Feb 2008 release for my commercial project.

In particular I intend to develop a Smart Client Web application which I intend to also host on a web site for commercial usage. But while going through the GAX installation licensing terms it states that

You may not

* use the software for commercial software hosting services.

Does this clause anyhow restrict me from developing an application for the above scenario?

I've even posted a query on the MSDN forum, but no one has yet responded to the same. http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx?postid=2902317&isthread=true&siteid=1&authhash=ed86510fbf24cf255b1c507aed729142da523704&ticks=633395207716715297

Can you please help me on this issue of GAX/GAT usage for commercial use.

Thanks in advance.

Gaurav.

Hello Grigori, I had a couple of questions:

1.) I read on the Wikipedia site that EL 4.0 was due out in mid March; is this accurate/close?

2.) Does EL 4.0 integrate with Framework 3.5? Anything specific to Framework 3.5 in it?

3.) I'm trying to use the DAAB QuickStart, but don't want to have to be bothered with memberships/roles, etc. that seem to be in there (reference to the "machine.config" connection string to attach to that db). I don't have Express Ed., but full Dev. Ed. and user instancing isn't available on Dev. Ed., so I'm trying to figure out how to avoid the ASP attaching part. I guess I could just manually load the roles database and just connect to it, but I don't seem to have that MDF on my system at all (only versions provided by other code samples, but not sure if I can use 1 of these successfully with the QuickStarts). How can I either produce an empty MDF to manually attach - or, avoid that connection in the QUickStarts? I think the answer is going to be to look for that code in the QuickStart and didsable it! Just not sure if that code's in the QuickStart or EL code.

Thankis!

@Gaurav

Yes, you are allowed to use GAT and SCSF for developing redistributable packages for your clients - this is in the GAT license.

You cannot deploy GAX on the server on a standalone basis for others to access. If the GAX runtime is needed for your clients to use your app, you should direct the users to download it from the Microsoft Download Center.

re: 1)

See http://blogs.msdn.com/agile/archive/2008/02/27/entlib-unity-roadmap.aspx

re: 2)

EL 4.0 targets .NET3.5. WMI2 support is only available in .NET3.5.

re: 3)

Yes, you have to modify the quickstart config. Just remove the SQLEXPRESS part of the database and use local.

SirReal — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 00:00:19 GMT

Excellent, thanks Grig (and thanks for the speedy reply).

Again my only issue with updating the QuickStart config is that I have to attach the ASPNETDB 1st, correct (then I can change from ".\EXPRESS" to "(local)"), but I don't actually have an ASPNETDB.mdf on my machine. I need to either disable the attempt to connect to this in the code (QuickStart or EL? Not sure), or somehow get a hold of an ASPNETDB.mdf compatible with the QuickStart example. Any advice would be great, thanks!

2.) Also, I seem to have messed something up when playing around with the config files, but I thought I put them back exactly as they were; I even uninstalled EL 3.0 and installed 3.1 to get around what looked like an assembly signing issue, but no luck. This the exception detail:

UPDATE: Other research I've done seems ti indicate a problem with code securty or assembly signing, but I haven't touched anything from the base EL 3.1 install; can't see how these be problems for me...
