I am on a project with 4 other developers. I am the only one using Infragistics (for the webchart). I sent my Infragistics webchart changes to our source control and the other devlopers have gotten the latest version of our project.
Now those developers are getting the following error:
The licx file is automatically generated by Visual Studio, and contains the list of components which require a license to use at design-time. This does get a little complicated when you attempt to use MSBuild to compile a project, because it looks at the same LICX file. The trick (if I remember) is to have the other members clear the contents of the .licx file (don't delete the file, just empty out it's contents). That should allow them to compile, though they will still be unable to open up any forms with Infragistics components inside of them.

I saw this message and have a similar problem. I just posted a new message but want to add a wrinkle to this.
I searched my workstation for a licx file and couldn't find one. Which folder should it be in?
Thanks for your help.

Jane,
The LICX file is part of your project, and usually contained in the top level directory of your visual studio project. It may be a hidden file, so you may have to "show all files" in the project to see it, or open the directory with windows explorer.

Thanks Vince,
I just had a talk with my manager who actually contacted your sales before. let me clarify our requirements again ..We need to build (*.ascx) controls that uses Infragistics components. our customers need to use these controls but they don't need to interact with Infragistics component directly. the customers don't need to add or modify Infragistic components during the design. they just need to interact with our controls.
each control we build will have several Infragistic components and we will create all properties that our clients might need to change to meet their business requirements.
do our customers still need to have a separate license ?
my current understanding is that they don't need a license but the problem is that they will not be able to view our controls at design time, is this true ?
Your customers will need to have their own, separate license.
You may want to contact our Sales team to see if an OEM license is something appropriate for what you're doing.
what about the license , will our customers need to purchase their own license too ? or they can use our license ?
Thanks
Your customers will need to have installed the same version of the toolset that you used to create your projects. Otherwise, they will not be able to access any design-time functionality of our controls, and they will not be able to compile their applications that use your project.
